First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for managing process design in a computer, the apparatus comprising:
- a computer, including a memory;
a first type instance stored in the memory, the first type instance including a first information about the process design;
a second type instance stored in the memory, the second type instance including a second information about the process design;
an intersection stored in the memory, the intersection designed to correlate the information in the first type instance with the information in the second type instance; and
a control stored in the memory, the control including a third information about a process in the process design, the control operable on the intersection.
