An embodiment of the present invention is a method for generating a logical model of objects from a representation of linguistic concepts. Packages of elements representing rule specifications expressed with linguistic concepts are received as input. The packages comprise at least one of the following: terms, names, sentence forms, mathematical function forms, nominal restrictive forms, identity criteria, and expressions. The packages are processed to generate a logical model of objects.

An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to automate document review in a project management tool. The review information on a document review is stored in a repository. The document review is associated to a project in a project management system. The document review is processed using the review information. A notification of the document review is sent.

Automating document reviews in a project management system

A method for associating classes contained in models stored in a computer system memory. The computer system has a repository program operating therein, which executes this method beginning with the step of initializing each persistent type object in one of the models. For each persistent type object initialized in the preceding step, a determination is made if the persistent type object is an association type. If it is, then at least two association-end objects are created. Next, the association-end objects are added to a collection of features owned by the persistent type object. The method further includes the steps of creating association objects that connect objects defined by persistent types associated by one of the association types; calling a setProperty function to specify an association between a first object and a collection of objects; passing to the setProperty function one of the two association end objects; the setProperty function interpreting the definition of the association type that owns the association-end parameter in order to determine whether: the association type is a valid association for associating objects of the persistent type which defines the target object; the association type is a valid association for associating objects of the persistent type which defines the value object; and, if the setProperty function determines that an association can be made, constructing association instance objects to link the target object to the value object.
