ABSTRACT:
One method according to the present invention may include defining a first object. The first object may have a unique object identifier. The method may also include defining a second object. The second object may also have a unique object identifier. After the objects have been identified, the method may include receiving a first value and a second value associated with the first object. The method may also include representing either an agreement and a lack of agreement associated with the first object based on a relationship between the first value and the second value. In an alternative embodiment, both an agreement and a disagreement may be represented based on the first value and the second value. In one embodiment of the invention, the representation of an agreement and/or a disagreement may be performed internally, using, for example, hexadecimal or binary representations of agreement or a lack of agreement. In yet another embodiment of the invention, a first single-perspective model and a second single-perspective model may be compared to form a multi-perspective model. Intentions of the parties within the collaborative community may be maintained throughout the modeling process.
