Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods including hardware, software and electronic service components and systems to provide large-scale, reliable, and secure foundations for distributed databases and content management systems combining unstructured and structured data, and allowing post-input reorganization to achieve a high degree of flexibility.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

providing a record including a first data item and a second data item, the first data item including personal data and the second data item including non-personal data;

transmitting the first data item to a secure data pool; and

transmitting the second data item to an unsecure data pool.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first data item includes one or more of a name, birth date, social security number, bank account, password.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second data item includes medical data.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the secure data pool provides conditional access to content.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the conditional access includes password-based access.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the conditional access includes role-based access.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein the conditional access includes conditional read access.

8. The method of claim 4, wherein the conditional access includes conditional write access.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the record includes one or more of a medical record, a financial record, a psychological record, and a tax record.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the unsecure data pool is available for public use.

11-38. -38. (canceled)

39. A method comprising:

providing a record including a first data item and a second data item;

storing the first data item in a first pool;

storing the second data item in a second pool; and

expressing a relationship between the first data item and the second data item in a file external to the first pool and the second pool.

40. The method of claim 39, wherein the access to the first pool is controlled by a security layer.

41. The method of claim 40, wherein the content in the first pool includes syndicated content with message-level encryption.

42. The method of claim 40, wherein the content in the first pool includes syndicated content with tag-level encryption.

43. The method of claim 40, wherein the content in the first pool includes syndicated content with channel-level encryption.

44. The method of claim 40, wherein the security layer employs an Active Directory service.

45. The method of claim 39, wherein the file is encrypted.

46. The method of claim 39, wherein the file includes a password for accessing at least one of the first item and the second item.

47. The method of claim 39, wherein the first data item includes a syndicated message.

48. The method of claim 47, wherein the syndicated message includes an RSS message.

49. The method of claim 47, wherein the syndicated message includes an OPML file.

50-306. -306. (canceled)

307. A method of anonymous publication, comprising:

storing data into a plurality of data storage facilities;

authenticating the identity of the entity storing the data;

de-identifying the data; and

syndicating the data.

308. The method of claim 307, further comprising providing a certification of the authenticity of the data without revealing the identity of the publisher.

309. The method of claim 307, wherein the data storage facilities are pools.

310. The method of claim 307, wherein the identity of the entity storing the data may be recovered upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

311. The method of claim 310, wherein the conditions are legal conditions.
