Makes clear what aspects are considered

In the 1970s, methods began to appear in software engineering for modeling with multiple views. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_T._Ross and K.E. Schoman in 1977 introduce the constructs context, viewpoint, and vantage point to organize the modeling process in systems requirements definition.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View_model#cite_note-Ross-Schoman1977-5 According to Ross and Schoman, a viewpoint "makes clear what aspects are considered relevant to achieving ... the overall purpose [of the model]" and determines How do we look at [a subject being modelled]?

I think "what" plays the role "compound relative" in my example.
So, I'd like to know if "what" means "whatever."
Thank you in advance for your help.

No. It is the complement of 'makes clear'. or the object of 'makes': Actually, it is the second subordinate clause that is poorly written:

[A] viewpoint makes [what aspects are considered relevant to achieving the overall purpose of the model] clear and determines [how we look at a subject being modelled]

No; I have already explained that it is a modifying clause, either nominal or adjectival.
