Abstract

A computer system and method is provided for mobile Internet (portable) digital data capture and data distribution. More than one project owner can share the same project schema.

Claims

1. A method of allowing more than one project owner to share the same project schema, the method comprising:

(a) providing a single project schema, the project schema having a plurality of objects and table structures which define the relationship between the objects, each of the objects having one or more attributes, each attribute having a value;

(b) defining one or more owners for the project schema;

(c) defining attribute values for each owner of the project schema, wherein different owners may have different attribute values while sharing the same project schema; and

(d) storing the attribute values in association with the respective owners so that upon selection of a defined owner, the project schema associates the appropriate values to the attributes.
