Abstract

A system and method for modeling properties of data and events of a business application is presented. The system include a user interface frontend system that displays a user interface, and a user interface backend system that hosts a business application that generates the user interface for display in the user interface frontend system. The system further includes an enterprise service framework comprising one or more data processors that define one or more properties of data and/or events related to the business application, and model each of the one or more properties as a data field of the business application. A dynamic properties calculator includes one or more data processors that access a set of transformation logic representing data transformation rules for each of the data fields of the business application, and apply the transformation rules to the data fields that represent the one or more properties.
