1. A system for managing information, comprising:
- a database for storage of information;
at least one user interface for accessing information contained within and for supplying information to the database;
a processor in communication with the database and responsive to input from said at least one user interface, said processor being programmed to;
a) process data entries that are submitted by way of said at least one user interface for input to said database, each said data entry being processed as a transaction;
b) effectuate irrepudiability as to each said processed transaction, such that each said processed transaction is not modifiable;
c) identify a producer responsible for submitting said processed transaction with said processed transaction in said database; and
d) version data contained within said database such that a state of said database at a point in time reflects all processed transactions, applied in sequence as of said point in time.
