ABSTRACT:
A method for providing processed data definition documents (DDDs) or processed document object models (DOMs) for object oriented programming. The use of these processed data definitions simplifies the data structures and streamlines programming to access the data. A standard DDD/DOM has a hierarchical branched structure having a number of levels each with elements
odes and attributes. The DDD is written in a platform independent markup language. An element
ode is selected and its attributes are identified. All ‘children’ of the selected element
ode are identified. The attributes of the selected element
ode (parent) are then copied to each child for all children in the DDD/DOM. This is repeated for all elements
odes in the DDD/DOM to result in a processed DDD/processed DOM which is now structured to allow program access to data in a more direct manner.
