A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11973760B2) discloses a case model system that includes a storage device for storing case model definitions and a processor that provides a user interface for developing case models. The user can interact with the interface to define a document hierarchy and a document permission model associated with the document hierarchy. The system processes this information to generate a data structure that represents the case model in a format compatible with a case management system. This data structure is used to instantiate a case instance based on the defined model and set document level hierarchical permissions on the document portions.

Furthermore, the system includes a visual developer tool that enables developers to define the case model through a user-friendly interface. This interface can be accessed via a network communication interface of the case management system, such as a web interface that allows developers to access the tool using a browser. Additionally, the system offers a problem-domain-specific interface that prompts developers for the problem domain and provides access to domain-specific elements to assist in defining the case model. The data structure generated by the system is in the form of an XML data file that encapsulates the case model definition, ensuring compatibility with the case management system for instantiating case instances and setting permissions on document portions.
