Method and system for information development and access
First Claim
1. A method for creating a process-driven knowledge activation system, said method comprising the following steps creating a process model comprising one or more elements associating at points within processes in said model a collection of symbols representing the resources that will be required by its user to be effective, the usage of said symbols across the model being auditable and traceable through a mechanism of dependency analysis within the modelling tool mapping said symbols to electronically-stored knowledge resources generating a process-driven knowledge activation system comprising said one or more symbols or textual representation of said symbols associated with said processes linked to said knowledge resources said system revealing to the user, through a graphical user interface, on clicking on a process, the associated knowledge resource symbols or textual representation of said symbols, the appropriate resource then being presented to the user on the click of said symbols or textual representation of said symbols.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for constructing and utilizing a process-driven “knowledge activation” system, and more particularly to a method for the development and use of business process models for distribution through electronic media such as web browsers, and the provision of access to relevant managed knowledge resources at appropriate points within said models The system includes the provision of a number of interlinked elements at least one of which is selectable from a graphical representation of the model and at least one of the elements is provided with links to a number of resources required for completion of the element, said resources indicated graphically to the user upon the selection of the appropriate element.

1. A method for creating a process-driven knowledge activation system, said method comprising the following steps
creating a process model comprising one or more elements associating at points within processes in said model a collection of symbols representing the resources that will be required by its user to be effective, the usage of said symbols across the model being auditable and traceable through a mechanism of dependency analysis within the modelling tool mapping said symbols to electronically-stored knowledge resources generating a process-driven knowledge activation system comprising said one or more symbols or textual representation of said symbols associated with said processes linked to said knowledge resources said system revealing to the user, through a graphical user interface, on clicking on a process, the associated knowledge resource symbols or textual representation of said symbols, the appropriate resource then being presented to the user on the click of said symbols or textual representation of said symbols.

6. A method for creating a process-driven knowledge activation system, said method comprising the following steps:
-
creating a process model of a system comprising one or more elements being part of a general purpose graphical business model, said model accessible via a web browser associating at points within processes in said model a collection of symbols representing the resources that will be required by its user to be effective, the usage of said symbols across the model being auditable and traceable through a mechanism of dependency analysis within the modelling tool mapping said symbols to electronic knowledge resources stored in a file store generating a process-driven knowledge activation system comprising said one or more symbols or named links associated with said processes linked to said knowledge resources said system revealing to the user, on clicking on a process, the associated knowledge resource symbols, the appropriate resource then being presented to the user on the click of said symbols or links. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

- 11. A business or process model, said model comprising a number of process model elements which in conjunction represent the model and characterised in that at least one of the elements is linked to a number of resources which can be selectively accessed by a user of the model and said resources linked to a particular element are made available to the user following the user choosing the particular element.
