摘要

The present invention extends to comparing and contrasting models of business. Model processing modules implement formal operators that can be used to manipulate models of business. A compare operator can be used to compare similarly typed models of business. A contrast operator can be used to contrast differ types of business models. A constraint operator can be used to check business models for compliance with constraints. A refinement operator can be used to refine business models based on industry (or otherwise more) specific data. A compose operator can be used to compose new business models from portions of other business models.
