Abstract: Business transactions or other events may be structured as a series of database-objects formed of combinations of sub-objects which in turn may depend on yet a lower level of objects. By creating object templates for the objects that progressively group inter-correlated data and inter-correlated objects, large amounts of event data may be captured with modest data storage requirements. The system is particularly well suited for capturing sales events comprised of a large range of data of different attributes.
