Abstract:
1. A method in a data processing system for applying a templated business graph to a business object, the method comprising: loading a selected set of hierarchical business objects based on user input, wherein the set of hierarchical business objects is created by a user using a hierarchical business object design tool; presenting a plurality of templated business graphs that are unified modeling language models for a business graph to the user; receiving a selection of a templated business graph that most suitably defines the set of hierarchical business objects from the plurality of templated business graphs; wrapping the set of hierarchical business objects with the templated business graph such that the set of hierarchical business objects is combined with the templated business graph to define and enhance the set of hierarchical business objects with value added services to the user to form a templated business object, wherein a set of header objects in the templated business graph provide the value added services, and wherein the set of header objects is added to a top level of the set of hierarchical business objects; and saving the templated business object as an Extensible Markup Language schema.
