Abstract

An information management method includes a step of preparing an information management structure adapted to model business operations using data objects. The content for at least some of the objects relates to the operations. The preparing of the information management structure includes the following steps. A unique identifier is assigned to each object. An object composition, an object behavior, an object interrelationship (how that object relates to at least one other object), and an object interaction (how that object interacts with at least one other object) is defined for each object. The at least one other object is identified in a definition using its unique object identifier. An insight into a selected group of objects is defined based on the object composition definition, the object behavior definition, the object interrelationship definition, the object interaction definition, or any combination thereof, for each object in the selected group of objects.
