Abstract
A method and system for process expression and resolution including a general method of direct assocation is described. A first language structure including a named result reference which is a destination for a result string for a directly associated correspondingly named resultant is provided. In addition, a second language structure including a result link is provided. A first end of the result link is located within a formal list of a definition. A second end of the result link is directly associated by list position and is located within an actual list of an invocation. A third language structure including the resultant is provided. The resultant is associated with one or more language elements including: the correspondingly named result reference and/or the correspondingly name result link. A resolution mechanism replaces the named result reference associated with the correspondingly named resultant with the resultant result string such that a language expression is resolved.
