The present invention refers to a method for performing a multidimensional categorization of a document repository ( 1 ) used for storing objects in category hierarchies within a computer system, wherein a mapping of objects being stored in a source category hierarchy ( 2 ) to target objects at target locations of a target category hierarchy ( 3 ) is associated with a source qualifier ( 4 ) and a target qualifier ( 5 ), the source qualifier ( 4 ) describing the objects to be mapped, the target qualifier ( 5 ) describing the target category hierarchy and characteristics of the target objects. The mapping is performed according to a mapping expression by computing the objects of the source category hierarchy ( 2 ) which match with the source qualifier ( 4 ), deriving from such successfully computed objects Further associated characteristics, specifying the target objects as virtual mapping objects at the target locations in the target category hierarchy ( 3 ) as specified by the target qualifier ( 5 ) and in accord with the characteristics derived from the successfully computed objects, and mapping the computed objects of the source category hierarchy ( 2 ) to the respective virtual mapping objects in the target category hierarchy ( 3 ). Furthermore, the invention also refers to an appropriate mapping algorithm, an appropriate computer system, a computer program and a computer program product. |
