Abstract: In areas that require repetitive data collection and entry, an efficient way to reuse data that is already available in the system is proposed. This technique involves the reuse of data artifact fields, validation and categorization of data artifacts, and computerized filling in of “inheritable” data into reports such as aircraft maintenance reports.

Abstract: Methods, systems, configurations, and computer program products create, represent, and manage Business Object Documents (BODs), coordinating the interfaces between two or more computer systems exchanging transactions thru a messaging architecture. The online validation of a BOD to prevent spoofing is performed by use of a relational database. While some aspects of the invention deal with the general e-business exchange of documents, others add versioning and verification to transactions via a repository that is used for that purpose. The repository is also used for the management of design of the electronic documents during the creations of the system between systems. Thru the use of a relational database business object document verification by relational repository (BODVRR) is able to perform automated validation of a versioned BOD in a business environment.
