Abstract

A computer system for building models of complex business transactions in an information management system. The system includes storage means for storing ordered sets of references to design data, such as entities. The ordered sets, or entity-sets, are assigned a value, and may then be manipulated in a manner similar to a data variable. The references may be ordered in accordance with predetermined criteria, or operator selected criteria.
