From Objects to Diagrams for Ranges of Functors

This work introduces tools, from the field of category theory, that make it possible to tackle until now unsolvable representation problems (determination of the range of a given functor). The basic idea is: if a functor lifts many objects, then it also lifts many (poset-indexed) diagrams.
