Abstract: A computer system is provided for modeling the structure of an enterprise comprising a first class of objects. An object of the class may represent an organizational unit of the enterprise. The class may comprise a method for assigning and/or deassigning to an object of the class at least one attribute from at least five types of attributes comprising: a first type describing a work to be performed by the unit; a second type describing a legal entity, which the unit represents; a third type describing a disciplinary or line management properties of the unit; a fourth type describing a financial responsibility of the unit; and a fifth type describing a location, which the unit represents. The system may further include means for assigning and/or deassigning to an object of said class at least one property depending on the assigned attribute.

Abstract: A heterogeneous information technology system in which compatible and incompatible client systems are able to dynamically access master data stored in a master database maintained by a master data server. An integration server communicates with the client systems and the master data server, and in response to a request for data from a client system, maps the master data in the master database to mapped data based on a set of mapping rules associated with the client system, and sends the mapped data to the client system.
