Generating a Business Document Model
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying a substitute relating to a business document model, the method comprising:
- receiving, in a computer system that has a modeling tool, a first user input indicating one of multiple components of a business document model in the modeling tool, the multiple components comprising nodes and edges that represent semantics of a business document;
identifying, in response to the first user input, at least one substitute component for the indicated component, the at least one substitute component being identified in a repository of preexisting business document models and using a graph structure of the business document model; and
presenting the identified at least one substitute component in the modeling tool such that a user can replace the indicated component with the substitute component.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for identifying a substitute relating to a business document model includes receiving, in a computer system that has a modeling tool, a first user input indicating one of multiple components of a business document model in the modeling tool. The multiple components include nodes and edges that represent semantics of a business document. The method includes identifying, in response to the first user input, at least one substitute component for the indicated component. The at least one substitute component is identified in a repository of preexisting business document models and using a graph structure of the business document model. The method includes presenting the identified at least one substitute component in the modeling tool such that a user can replace the indicated component with the substitute component. Quality values can be determined and assigned.

15. A computer program product tangibly embodied in an information carrier and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for generating a business document model, the method comprising:
-
receiving, in a computer system that has a modeling tool, a first user input indicating one of multiple components of a business document model in the modeling tool, the multiple components comprising nodes and edges that represent semantics of a business document; identifying, in response to the first user input, at least one substitute component for the indicated component, the at least one substitute component being identified in a repository of preexisting business document models and using a graph structure of the business document model; and presenting the identified at least one substitute component in the modeling tool such that a user can replace the indicated component with the substitute component.

16. A computer program product tangibly embodied in an information carrier, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed, generate on a display device a graphical user interface for identifying a substitute relating to a business document model, the graphical user interface comprising:
-
a modeling area configured to present multiple components of a business document model, the multiple components comprising nodes and edges that represent semantics of a business document; and a substitution candidate area for presenting at least one substitute component such that a user can replace an indicated one of the multiple components in the business document model with the substitute component, the at least one substitute component being identified in a repository of preexisting business document models and using a graph structure of the business document model. - View Dependent Claims (17)
