Object Model Characteristics
The following list describes key characteristics of object models:
- The business entity and sub-process object types are recursive.
- The Issue, Signature, File, and Link object types can be associated to any primary object type.
- Object types can contain single valued and multi-valued enumerated string data types.
Table 1 lists the primary object types that are shared across all solutions. The list is followed by Figure 1 showing the object model and relationship among primary objects. All objects have a direct parent-child relationship.
Object Type | Label |
---|---|
SOXBusEntity (recursive) | Business Entity |
SOXProcess | Process |
SOXSubprocess (recursive) | Sub-Process |
SOXRisk | Risk |
SOXControl | Control |
SOXTest | Test Plan |
SOXTestResult | Test Result |
RiskAssessment | Risk Assessment |
Table 2 lists the secondary object types that are shared across all solutions. The list is followed by Figure 2 showing the secondary objects without links to the primary objects because the joins are formed in the reporting tool.
Object Type | Label |
---|---|
SOXIssue | Issue |
SOXTask | Action Item |
SOXSignature | Signature |
SOXExternalDocument | Link |
ProjectActionItem | Action Item |
SOXDocument | File |

This model represents the basic relationship of objects within IBM OpenPages® with Watson™. For the exact relationships for your own system either obtain the object model diagram that was created during the system installation process or examine the object relationships from the menu.
