摘要:
Data presented in a hierarchical format is rendered in a form allowing the data to be imported into a spreadsheet document where the data can be modified and new data can be added. A data file containing the hierarchically formatted data is selected for importing. A mapping relating a plurality of elements within the hierarchical data to a plurality of respective locations in the spreadsheet document is accessed. The hierarchical data is rendered in the spreadsheet document according to the mapping. Input is received to modify the hierarchical data rendered in the spreadsheet document. The mapping is updated to include the modifications to the hierarchical data. The modifications to the hierarchical data and the updated mapping are exported for subsequent rendering in a second spreadsheet document according to the updated mapping.

Methods and systems are provided for importing markup language formatted data into a spreadsheet document and for exporting markup language formatted data from a spreadsheet document. XML data is associated with an XML schema file defining XML data types and data type definitions for applying the XML data to the document. An XML data map is prepared that relates any XML data applied to the document back to corresponding XML elements or attributes defined in the associated schema file. When the document is imported into a spreadsheet application grid, the data map is parsed to find XPATHs in the imported spreadsheet document of XML data and the user entered data. After an imported document has been edited, the document may be exported such that the XML data applied to the document is maintained for subsequent import and use of the document.

The present invention extends to transforming business models. A business model representing a business layer of a business architecture is accessed. An indication that the business model is to be transformed is received. Transformations can include transforming the level of detail in a business model of transforming a business model representing one business layer into a business model representing another different business layer. Transform relationships that designate how business models are to be transformed are accessed. Business models are transformed in accordance with the transform relationships and transformed models are created. Accordingly, users are provided business context for completing tasks more efficiently without being overwhelmed by unneeded business details and without lacking all the relevant business details.

XML data is associated with an XML schema file defining XML data types and data type definitions for applying XML data to the document. An XML data map is prepared that relates that any XML data applied to the document back to corresponding XML elements or attributes defined in the associated schema file. When the document is imported into a spreadsheet application grid, the data map is parsed to find XPATHs in the imported spreadsheet document of XML data and the user entered data. After an imported document has been edited, or after a document is created to include the application of XML data in association with a selected XML schema file, the document may be exported such that the XML data applied to the document is maintained for subsequent import and use of the document.
摘要:
The present invention extends to comparing and contrasting models of business. Model processing modules implement formal operators that can be used to manipulate models of business. A compare operator can be used to compare similarly typed models of business. A contrast operator can be used to contrast differ types of business models. A constraint operator can be used to check business models for compliance with constraints. A refinement operator can be used to refine business models based on industry (or otherwise more) specific data. A compose operator can be used to compose new business models from portions of other business models.

An application entity may be created and defined by a user at an application. Related service entities managed by different service applications may be matched and consolidated. The application entity may be associated with one or more related service entities. Metadata corresponding to the associated service entities may be provided to the application. Such metadata may enable the associated service entities to be managed from within the application.

XML data is associated with an XML schema file defining XML data types and data type definitions for applying XML data to the document. An XML data map is prepared that relates that any XML data applied to the document back to corresponding XML elements or attributes defined in the associated schema file. When the document is imported into a spreadsheet application grid, the data map is parsed to find XPATHs in the imported spreadsheet document of XML data and the user entered data. Each XPATH is executed to determine the location, data types and user data for each cell or list object in the document that is related back to the associated schema file. The cells and lists are populated with the XML data and user data, and the data is rendered in the spreadsheet according to the formatting dictated by the XML data applied to the spreadsheet in association with the XML schema file. After an imported document has been edited, or after a document is created to include the application of XML data in association with a selected XML schema file, the document may be exported such that the XML data applied to the document is maintained for subsequent import and use of the document.
摘要:
The present invention extends to efficient and flexible business modeling based upon structured business capabilities. A computer system receives a plurality of business modeling attributes representing different layers of a business. The computer system extracts business capability attributes from among the received plurality of business modeling attributes. The computer system accessing a structured data model that defines data formats for the extracted business capability attributes. The computer system formats the extracted business capability attributes in accordance with the data formats defined in the structured data model. The computer system models a business capability based upon the formatted business capability attributes. A structured data model can include a capability modeling schema having data format definitions that define how business capability attributes are to be represented. Networks of business capabilities can be modeled and attributes from other business layers can be (re)attached to modeled business capabilities.
