Abstract

A computer system adapted to receive at least one first content item, a second content item, and corresponding rules, and to process at least one query based at least in part on the first content item and the second content item and the first content item rule and the second content item rule, and to retrieve at least one result of the query, a storage medium to store the first content item and the second content item and the first content item rule and the second content item rule and the query and the result, and an output device to report the query and the result, wherein every content item ownership person'"'"'s access to at least one content item is limited by at least one content item rule that is imposed by a person other than such content item ownership person.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least one verifier provides at least one verification of at least one of the first content item and the second content item.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the validity of the verification can be determined from the result without any other access to the first content item or the second content item.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a data subject has access to at least one content item that relates to the data subject.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein a data subject has access to at least one access to at least one content item that relates to the data subject.

8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein a data subject has access to at least one use of at least one content item that relates to the data subject.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least one content item refers at least one of a trait, skill, motivation and style of a learner, a teacher or an other interested person, and wherein the query and the result relate to acquiring, learning, teaching or imparting of knowledge, data, information, or skills by or for the teacher or the learner.

10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first content item includes a personal attribute of a learner, a teacher or an other interested person and the identity of the learner, the teacher or the other interested person.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the second content item includes a tool attribute of a tool and the identity of the tool.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the second content item includes background information.

40. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein at least one of the first content item rule and the second content item rule relates to usage of electricity.

13. An apparatus, comprising:

a computer system, including a processor to receive at least one content item, and to process at least one query based at least in part on the content item, and to retrieve at least one result of the query, a storage medium to store the content item and the result, and an output device to report the result, wherein the content item refers at least one of a trait, a skill, a motivation and a style of a learner, a teacher or an other interested person, and wherein the query and the result relate to acquiring, learning, teaching or imparting knowledge, data, information, and skills by or for the teacher or the learner.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein at least two content items refer at least two of the trait, the skill, the motivation and the style of the learner, the teacher or the other interested person

15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein at least three content items refer at least three of the trait, the skill, the motivation and the style of the learner, the teacher or the other interested person.

16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein at least four content items refer at least four of the trait, the skill, the motivation and the style of the learner, the teacher or the other interested person.

17. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein at least one second content item is background information.

18. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the content item is incorporated into a framework.

19. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the processor can receive at least one second content item and can process at least one mapping or relationship or interrelationship among the content item and the second content item.

20. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the processor can receive at least one second content item and can process at least a second mapping or relationship or interrelationship among the content item and the mapping or the relationship or the interrelationship.

21. The apparatus of claims 18 and 19 and 20, wherein the content item, the second content item and the mapping or the relationship or the interrelationship are incorporated into the framework.

22. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the result includes at least one summative or formative result.

23. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the result includes at least one of a bill, a statement, and an invoice.

24. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the result includes support for at least one of a bill, a statement, and an invoice.

25. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the result includes at least one of a quote, a price, a bid, a proposal, a response to an RFP, or a response to an RFQ.
