A method for maintaining relationships between entities in a computer system, each entity having a plurality nodes, includes the steps of: modifying one of the plurality of nodes; searching for a plurality of dependent nodes from the plurality of nodes coupled to the one node; ordering the plurality of dependent nodes into an order; and evaluating the plurality of dependent nodes in the order.

Object relationship management system

A method for maintaining consistency between objects in a computer system by defining relationship patterns. A relationship pattern is a collection of entities having relationships with a common entity called an active entity. A semantic entity is associated with the active entity describing the actions to be performed for updating one or more entities of the relationship pattern in response to modification, copying, or deletion of one or more entities participating in the relationship pattern.

Managing object relationships using an object repository

A method for manipulating a first three-dimensional object, in a computer system including a display, a first software application, and a second software application. The present method includes the step of creating a model of the first three-dimensional object with the first software application, which has a first three-dimensional object with the first system. A step of storing the model of the first three-dimensional object in a model format is also included. The present method further includes the step retrieving the model of the first three-dimensional object in the model format into a second software application, the second software application having a second coordinate system. The present method also includes the step of manipulating a view of the model of the first three-dimensional object with the second software application and within the second coordinate system.
