Method and system for object-oriented workflow management of multi-dimensional data
First Claim
1. A method in a computer system for managing a plurality of types of enterprise portfolio data as investment items, each investment item having a source investment type and associated with a transition from the source investment type to a destination investment type, the associated transition configured to include indications to zero or more associated criteria and/or approvals, the method comprising:
- presenting on a presentation device associated with the computer system a representation of one of the investment items including an indication of the source investment type and a graphical representation of the associated transition from the source investment type to the destination investment type;
receiving an indication, by the computer system, to perform the associated transition to transform the one of the investment items from the source investment type to the destination investment type; and
transparently performing, by the computer system, the indicated transition to transform the one of the investment items from the source investment type to the destination investment type such that the representation of the one of the investment items now appears on the presentation device as a representation of an investment item of the destination investment type.

Abstract
Methods and systems for managing and analyzing multi-dimensional data are provided. Example embodiments provide a Meta-Object Data Management System “MODMS,” which enables users to arrange and to rearrange the hierarchical relationships of the data on an ad-hoc basis and allows the data to be analyzed using any set of attributes (dimensions) while the system is running. The MODMS represents heterogeneous data in a normalized (standardized) fashion using an object type management system that allows the coercion of one type of object into another different type of object and automatically resolves attribute dependencies. The MODMS supports object transitions for transforming an object from one type to another based upon meeting a defined set of criteria and subject to approval by designated entities. In one embodiment, the MODMS is used to implement an enterprise portfolio management system.

38. A computer-implemented portfolio management system, comprising:
-
a memory; a processor; a display device displaying a plurality of investment items of an organization displayed in a portfolio containment hierarchy, each item having a source investment type and associated with a transition from the source investment type to a destination investment type; and a portfolio management component stored in the memory and configured, when executed, to display on the display device a representation of one of the investment items including an indication of the source investment type and a graphical representation of the associated transition from the source investment type to the destination investment type; receive an indication, by the processor, to perform the transition to transform the one of the investment items from the source investment type to the destination investment type; and as a result of the received indication, using the processor to transition the one of the investment items from the source investment type to the destination investment type such that the representation of the one of the investment items now appears on the display device as a representation of an investment item of the destination investment type. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)
