Abstract: A method may include receiving unstructured content data related to a business entity by a networked service application; selecting, via a user interface of the networked service application and based at least in part on the received unstructured content data, a business template, the business template being a representation of a networked business object data structure having associations with structured data; and creating, by the networked service application, an instance of the networked business object by associating at least some of the received content data with the business template and the networked business object associated with the business template.

Abstract: A method may include acquiring metadata defining a networked business object, the networked business object model being a meta model class or type data structure and the acquiring including acquiring first state metadata defining a first set of attributes to associate with a first state of the networked business object class; acquiring second state metadata defining a second set of attributes to associate with a second state of the networked business object; and creating the object model having a plurality of states by associating the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes with each other.
