1. A computer-implemented method of gathering information from a user of a client computer, and a display device and input device operatively coupled to the client computer, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a collection of electronic forms, each including a display component instructing the client processor how to render text and input fields on the display device and an executable component for execution on the client computer that includes logic for validating captured user input field data and logic for applying domain knowledge to user response data;

    requesting an electronic form be sent to the client computer;

    transmitting an electronic form from the collection to the client computer in response to the request;

    gathering response data from a user by rendering on the display text and input fields associated with the transmitted form, capturing field data input by the user in response to the rendered text and input fields, and validating the input field data, repeating this step if the validation reveals an user input error;

    determining whether additional action is necessary at least in part by applying domain based knowledge to the gathered response data, and taking said actions if determined necessary; and

    transmitting the user response data from the client computer to another computer.
