System and method for managing information
First Claim
1. A system for managing information, the system including:
- an interface for allowing a user to manipulate identifiers indicative of respective information processes to create a user-defined process order; and
a processor responsive to the interface for compiling the information processes in accordance with the user-defined process order to define a complex information process.

Abstract
A system and method for managing a complex information process. The system includes an interface for allowing a user to manipulate identifiers indicative of respective information processes to create a user-defined process order; and a processor responsive to the interface for compiling the information processes in accordance with the user-defined process order to define a complex information process. The method includes the steps of manipulating identifiers indicative of respective information processes to create a user-defined process order; and compiling the information processes in accordance with the user-defined process order to define a complex information process.

19. A system for interfacing a plurality of information sources that accept information in compliance with respective data entry protocols, the system including:
-
an identifier associated with each information source, each identifier being indicative of the respective data entry protocol for the associated information source; an input for receiving a first packet of information from a first one of the information sources; an output for providing a second packet of information to a second one of the information sources; and a processor in communication with the input and responsive to the identifier of the second one of the information sources for generating the second packet such that the second packet complies with the data entry protocol of the second one of the information sources. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)

23. A computer-implemented method for use in managing information, where the method, when implemented in one or more computer systems, causes the one or more computer systems to:
-
manipulate identifiers indicative of respective information processes to create a user-defined process order; and compile the information processes in accordance with the user-defined process order to define a complex information process. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A computer-implemented method for use in interfacing a plurality of information sources that accept information in compliance with respective data entry protocols, where each information source includes an identifier that is indicative of the respective data entry protocol for the associated information source, and where the method, when implemented in one or more computer systems, causes the one or more computer systems to:
-
receive a first packet of information from a first one of the information sources; and provide a second packet of information to a second one of the information sources, where the second packet is generated such that the second packet complies with the data entry protocol of the second one of the information sources. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44)
