Knowledge object and collaboration management system
First Claim
1. A point management system, comprising a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by the processor, instantiate:
- a literal database, configured to store a plurality of literal objects; and
a snip database configured to store a plurality of snip objects, each snip object in the plurality of snip objects comprising;
an excerpt of digital content from a literal object stored in the literal database;
at least one piece of snip metadata input by a user;
a snip location corresponding with the location of the excerpt of digital content within the literal object; and
a point authoring module coupled with the snip database and configured to;
provide a user interface configured to allow a user to generate a set of points;
generate a query in real-time based on key words according to user input;
submit the query to the snip database;
receive a result set of snip objects from the snip database that satisfy the query;
instantiate a point object based on the set of snips;
link the point object to at least one of the snip objects in the result set;
configure a device to store the point object; and
a snip verification engine coupled with the snip database and the literal database, configured todetect an interaction with the snip object within a document;
instantiate a literal viewer including the literal object associated with the snip object, by looking up the literal object within the literal database, wherein the literal viewer comprises;
at least one snip location;
at least one piece of snip metadata;
render the snip within the document according to the literal viewer.

Abstract
The inventive subject matter provides apparatus, systems and methods in which a point management system packages worker thought-processes and supporting reference materials with the point or conclusion being made, enabling rapid review and verification by a decision-maker. The point management system includes a literal object database, snip object database and point object database, wherein each snip object is derived from a literal object and linked to the location from which it was derived. The system further includes a point authoring module that enables users to link snip objects within the point object, and a snip verification engine that enables a reviewer of the point object to verify the supporting snip objects and literal objects, their relationships to each other and to the points being made in the point object, and the team collaboration that has transpired at both the snip object level and point object level.

10. A point management system, comprising a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by the processor, instantiate:
-
a literal database, configured to store a plurality of literal objects; and a snip database configured to store a plurality of snip objects, each snip object in the plurality of snip objects comprising; an excerpt of digital content from a literal object stored in the literal database; at least one piece of snip metadata input by a user; a snip location corresponding with the location of the excerpt of digital content within the literal object; an indicator for inclusion in a point object; and a point authoring module coupled with the snip database and configured to; provide a user interface configured to allow a user to generate a set of points; instantiate a point object based on the set of points; load snip objects into the point object according to their indicators; re-order the snip objects; link the loaded snip objects within the point object; configure a device to store the point object; and a snip verification engine coupled with the snip database and the literal database, configured to detect an interaction with the snip object within a document; instantiate a literal viewer including the literal object associated with the snip object, by looking up the literal object within the literal database, wherein the literal viewer comprises; at least one snip location; at least one piece of snip metadata; render the snip within the document according to the literal viewer. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
