1. A process for accessing and providing information obtained from a source comprising:
- accessing data stored in an electronic storage medium;
responsive to an input, providing, from storage medium, summary data and a confidence in the summary data;
wherein the confidence is based in a degree of consensus or contentiousness related to the summary data and represents the likelihood that the summary data is correct; and
responsive to an input, providing detail data underlying the summary data,wherein the detail data comprises potential values for the summary data, and wherein the summary data represents a summary of the potential values and has been determined based on the potential values, and wherein the summary data comprises a value selected from the potential values in the detail data based on a confidence level associated with at least one of the potential values in the detail data.

13. A system, comprising:
-
one or more memory devices; input logic for processing a command to access data stored in a database, wherein the database comprises one or more cells associated with summary data, detail data, and a confidence in the summary data, wherein the confidence is based on the degree of consensus or contentiousness related to the summary data and represents the likelihood that the summary data is correct, wherein the detail data comprises potential values for the summary data, and wherein the summary data represents a summary of the potential values and gas been determined based on the potential values, and wherein the summary data comprises a value selected from the potential values in the detail data based on a confidence level associated with at least one of the potential values in the detail data; and output logic configured to provide the summary data and the confidence in the summary data wherein the output logic is further configured to provide the detail data underlying the summary data in response to an input; all of the logics comprising executable code, the executable code being stored on the one or more memory devices. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
