System for configuration programming
First Claim
1. A method for creating application software comprising the steps of:
- storing a first set of object models representing data of an application, each object model corresponding to a set of elements, wherein the elements are selected from a finite set of basic object types;
selecting a subset of service objects from a stored set of service objects, wherein the service objects are independent of the object models and wherein each of the service objects includes functionality to parse at least one object model to determine elements and basic object types in the at least one object model and functionality to perform a function with respect to elements of each of the basic object types; and
defining a flow process representing an order for operation of the selected subset of service objects and data of the application.

Abstract
In a development platform, a classifier for a given application defines a data model of an application model as a pattern (an object model) from a finite number of patterns (object models) that represent the possible permutations of data models. In addition, the development platform has a finite number of service objects that perform various functions/services on the object model from which the application model adopts one or more service objects. The object models and the service objects are generic to the development platform and usually a set of finite number of object models and a set of finite number of service objects can interface the application model with the various third party resources and tools.
