1. A method, comprising:
- a computing system reading a bar code in a first document, wherein the bar code encodes data and a tag that specifies a data type of the data, wherein the tag is an extensible markup language (XML) tag;
the computing system decoding the bar code to determine the data and the data type; and
the computing system using the data type to select a data field in a second document and populate the data field with the data.

Abstract
A method for data interchange includes summing up data associated with an electronic document to provide summed up data, representing the summed up data as one or more bar codes, and returning the one or more bar codes for display and data capture via a bar code scan from either a video display or a printed version of the one or more bar codes. The electronic document may be of any number of formats. The summing up may include taking data from multiple information fields to create the summed up data. The data may include data tags or a step of adding data tags to the data to assist in data interchange may be performed.

7. A computing system, comprising:
-
a processor; memory having program instructions stored therein, wherein the program instructions are executable by the processor to cause the computing system to perform; receiving data from a data source; generating a bar code that encodes the data and a data tag, wherein the data tag identifies a property of the data; and transferring the bar code to a target; wherein the receiving includes; receiving a document having another bar code that encodes data; and decoding the other bar code to obtain at least a portion of the data encoded in the generated bar code. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions stored thereon, wherein the program instructions are executable by a computing system to cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
-
decoding a first bar code in a first document, wherein the first bar code includes data and a tag indicative of a data type of the data; modifying the decoded data to produce updated data; encoding a second bar code in a second document, wherein the second bar code includes the updated data and the tag; and displaying, at a display of the computing system and via a web browser interface, a bar code that encodes data and a tag. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
