Abstract
An object-oriented method of using a computer to store a model of an imprecise structure of a product. The product's components are modeled as items and item revisions. Each item and item revision has a view, which may have view revisions. The method links view objects and view revision objects with occurrence references to each other and to view objects and view revision objects of other components. Context-specific view revisions are modeled as appearances. A user's request for a display of a product is received and used to invoke configuration rules that determine which view revisions) are part of the product. The correct view revisions are assembled with their occurrences and appearances.
