Abstract: A method for presenting business data using a computer system. Business data, which need not be part of a single data structure in any format, of at least one enterprise is associated with a business model. The business model has at least one indicator pertinent to performance of a business and at least one category identifying an aspect of the business to which the indicator may be pertinent. For each pair of indicator and category in the business model, there may exist a parameter, which is derivable from the business data and not necessarily pre-existing in such business data. Pursuant to a query that defines one or more indicator-category pairs, the business data is used to derive values of one or more parameters corresponding to the one or more indicator-category pairs in the query.
