Systems and methods for modeling processing procedures
First Claim
1. A method for implementing of a processing procedure on an object allocated to an object category as an instance of an object type in a computer system, comprising the steps of:
- parsing the object into separately processable, hierarchically classifiable sub-objects that are instances of corresponding sub-object types;
processing at least some of the sub-objects with, predetermined partial processing procedures that are specific to each sub-object type, wherein attributes of the sub-objects or attributes of other sub-objects are temporarily made available during the predetermined partial processing procedures, the attributes of the other sub-objects being attributes of hierarchically higher-ranking sub-objects;
processing results obtained from processing the sub-objects and combining the results using a functional relationship in a processing procedure of a higher rank than the predetermined partial processing procedures; and
deriving an object-specific processing result from the processing procedure,wherein the object and the sub-objects of the object are instantiated in one or more databanks of the computer system and are stored in one or more hierarchically classified directories specific to the object type or sub-object type, and further wherein the directory or directories are in each case structured such that a mask of the directory or directories is not specific to the object or one of the sub-objects.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for implementation of a processing procedure on an object allocated to an object category as an instance of an object type. In one embodiment, a computerized method is provided. The method may include breaking the object into separately processable, hierarchically classifiable sub-objects as instances of corresponding sub-object types, processing at least a part of the sub-objects with respective predetermined partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object type. The method may further include processing results obtained from processing the sub-objects and combining the results via a functional relationship in a processing procedure of higher rank than the partial processing procedures. An object-specific processing result may then be derived for the processing procedure.

7. A computerized system for managing objects and for implementing a processing procedure on at least one of the objects allocated in each case to an object category, the system comprising:
-
means for parsing the object into separately processable and hierarchically organized sub-objects that are instances of corresponding sub-object types; at least one processor that; processes at least some of the sub-objects with predetermined partial processing procedures that are specific to each sub-object type, wherein attributes of the sub-objects or attributes of other sub-objects are temporarily made available during the predetermined partial processing procedures, the attributes of the other sub-objects being attributes of hierarchically higher ranking sub-objects, combines the results using a functional relationship in a processing procedure of a higher rank than the predetermined partial processing procedures, and derives an object-specific processing result from the processing procedure, wherein the object and the sub-objects of the object are instantiated in one or more databanks and are stored in one or more hierarchically classifiable directories specific to the object or sub-object type, wherein the directory or directories are in each case structured such that a mask of the directory or directories is not specific to the object or one of the sub-objects. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer-readable medium comprising programmable instructions for a computer-implemented method that implements a processing procedure on an object allocated to an object category as an instance of an object type in a computer system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
parsing the object into separately processable, hierarchically classifiable sub-objects as instances of corresponding sub-object types; processing at least some of the sub-objects with predetermined partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object type, wherein attributes of the sub-objects or attributes of other sub-objects are temporarily made available during the predetermined partial processing procedures, the attributes of the other sub-objects being attributes of hierarchically higher-ranking sub-objects; processing results obtained from processing the sub-objects, and combining the results using a functional relationship in a processing procedure of a higher rank than the predetermined partial processing procedures; and deriving an object-specific processing result from the processing procedure, wherein the object and the sub-objects of the object are instantiated in one or more databanks of the computer system and are stored in one or more hierarchically classified directories specific to the object type or sub-object type, and further wherein the directory or directories are in each case structured such that a mask of the directory or directories is not specific to the object or one of the sub-objects. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
