Abstract
The present invention involves a method of reducing information latency in a business enterprise having a computer system. The method includes the steps of accessing a data source and obtaining transaction information relating to changes in the data source. The data source contains data instances and meta data. A change in either a data instance or a meta data may activate an event within the computer system. The method includes determining whether a response is necessary to an event initiated by a change in the data source. The method also includes determining if the change in the data source was the result of access within or external to an application.
