The author gives an overview of representations of orthomodular structures (orthomodular lattices, orthomodular posets, orhoalgebras) by hypergraphs as pasted families of Boolean algebras. These representations are useful in constructions of orthomodular structures with given properties. He introduces a new technique (so-called semipasted families of Boolean algebras) which is substantially simpler. This technique does not give a unique (up to isomorphism) orthomodular structure -- a family of orthomodular structures is obtained. However, states and evaluation functionals are preserved, i.e., the state space of every structure from this family has the desired properties. Various applications are presented, e.g., a simplified proof of Shultz's theorem on the characterization of spaces of finitely additive states on orthomodular lattices.
