System and Method for Managing Data and Communications Over a Network
First Claim
1. A system for managing data and communications over a network for an institution having a defined organizational structure, the system comprising:
- a first database containing the organizational structure and organizational structure information including information identifying first and second individuals on the organizational structure, the first and second individuals having respective first and second access profiles;
a collaboration space including a plurality of interconnected collaboration points, each of the plurality of interconnected collaboration points having an accessible object, a history log, and digital rights management controls;
a second database containing the collaboration space;
a first mapping from the first access profile to a first subset of the plurality of interconnected collaboration points, the first subset of the plurality of interconnected collaboration points including the digital rights management controls permitting access to the corresponding accessible objects by the first access profile, the first mapping enabling recordation in the history log of the access by the first individual;
a second mapping from the second access profile to a second subset of the plurality of interconnected collaboration points, the second subset of the plurality of interconnected collaboration points including the digital rights management controls permitting access to the corresponding accessible objects by the second access profile, the second mapping enabling recordation in the history log of the access by the second individual, wherein the first subset and the second subset include common collaboration points;
a first perspective of the collaboration space formed by the first mapping, the first perspective belonging to the first individual; and
a second perspective of the collaboration space formed by the second mapping, the second perspective belonging to the second individual.

Abstract
A system for managing data and communications over a network for an institution having a defined organizational structure is disclosed. A collaboration space includes interconnected collaboration points having an accessible object, a history log, and digital rights management controls. Mappings extend from access profiles associated with individuals within the defined organizational structure to appropriate collaboration points that include the digital rights management controls permitting access to the corresponding accessible objects by the access profiles. The mappings enable different individuals to have different perspectives of the collaboration space as well as view the collaboration space from a third-party perspective providing details of the access of third-party to an individual'"'"'s mapping or omniscient perspective providing details of the access of a particular collaboration point.
