Abstract
A document image management system and associated method for integrating the operations of various independent software applications and the reuse of data entries within an enterprise, to increase productivity and promote a flexible method for the visualization of complete and coordinated information contained on a plurality of form pages. To this end, the system and method use an electronic checklist that enables the automated population of data fields in the checklist, and the reuse of the collected data in other applications. The system further includes additional tools that use the knowledge information to enable an efficient use of the knowledge within an enterprise, including the ability to develop a context for, and visualization of such knowledge.
