Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for implementation of a processing procedure on an object allocated to an object category as an instance of an object type. In one embodiment, a computerized method is provided. The method may include breaking the object into separately processable, hierarchically classifiable sub-objects as instances of corresponding sub-object types, processing at least a part of the sub-objects with respective predetermined partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object type. The method may further include processing results obtained from processing the sub-objects and combining the results via a functional relationship in a processing procedure of higher rank than the partial processing procedures. An object-specific processing result may then be derived for the processing procedure.
