Central to OpenKAT are objects and `the data model, which defines object types <https://mispo.es/model-explorer/model-explorer.html>`_. Objects (or 'objects of interest, ooi') are created by collecting and analyzing information. The objects found are analyzed using business rules, leading to findings that are included as objects in the data model.

The data model helps in the search for more information, through the logical coherence of objects. When an object is found, OpenKAT automatically checks whether related objects are also present. Based on this, it searches for information again, completing the circle.
