Abstract: The present invention extends to associating and visualizing schematized business networks. Users can visualize and navigate a business network without having got understand or create associations between structures of different business layers. Users can configure the level of detail by zooming in and zooming out of relevant portions of the business network such that the appropriate amount of detail for a given task is provided. Accordingly, users are provided business context for completing tasks more efficiently without being overwhelmed by unneeded business details and without lacking all the relevant business details.

Abstract: The present invention extends to comparing and contrasting models of business. Model processing modules implement formal operators that can be used to manipulate models of business. A compare operator can be used to compare similarly typed models of business. A contrast operator can be used to contrast differ types of business models. A constraint operator can be used to check business models for compliance with constraints. A refinement operator can be used to refine business models based on industry (or otherwise more) specific data. A compose operator can be used to compose new business models from portions of other business models.

Abstract: The present invention extends to efficient and flexible business modeling based upon structured business capabilities. A computer system receives a plurality of business modeling attributes representing different layers of a business. The computer system extracts business capability attributes from among the received plurality of business modeling attributes. The computer system accessing a structured data model that defines data formats for the extracted business capability attributes. The computer system formats the extracted business capability attributes in accordance with the data formats defined in the structured data model. The computer system models a business capability based upon the formatted business capability attributes. A structured data model can include a capability modeling schema having data format definitions that define how business capability attributes are to be represented.

Abstract: A system and method for determining back muscle dysfunction comprises data collection and data analysis elements. The system collects electrical muscle activity measurements by applying a plurality of electrodes in a pattern across a patient's or test subject's back, measuring the electrical activity at each of the electrodes and storing the measurements. One or more normative or examined patient databases comprising measurements and results from a number of individuals are used for comparison against the patient's measurements. A patient's back muscle activity is characterized by collecting electrical muscle activity measurements for the patient and comparing an analysis of the patient's electrical muscle activity to the results of the normative or previously examined group.
