First Claim
1. A networked commercial interaction management method, comprising the steps of:
- defining a personal profile including a set of values for a plurality of information fields,receiving information bundles from different networked users in a same machine-readable format, wherein the machine-readable format includes values for the plurality of information fields, andpresenting at least parts of the information bundles from the different users based on the values for the plurality of fields for the information and the values for the fields for the bundles.

Abstract
A method comprises making a set of personal profiles available, from at least one buy-side user to at least one sell-side user, each personal profile in the set of personal profiles including a first set of first values for a plurality of information fields, the plurality of information fields relating to commercial transactions. Based upon the at least part of the set of personal profiles, the method receives a request to enter into a trusted relationship from the at least one sell-side user at the at least one buy-side user, and receives a set of trusted relationship information from the at least one sell-side user at the at least one buy-side user. The method sends the set of trusted relationship information, from the at least one buy-side user to the at least one sell-side user. The relationship includes a variable level of trust which affects the amount of infrastructure functionality available to one or more users and wherein the variable level of trust comprises a first level of trust and a second level of trust and wherein the first level of trust is set by the at least one buy-side user and the second level of trust is set by the at least one sell-side user.
