Process and system for pricing and processing weighted data in a federated or subscription based data source
First Claim
1. An information handling process to implement pricing and weighting and other calculations within a federated data source or a data supply chain to shape and propagate research designs composed of hubs, relationships between hubs, booklets that include lists of booklets items that are linked to researchable elements and root elements, and a calculation algorithm, said research design being configurable to suit any research or business process or plurality of research and business processes through an application cluster or a plurality of application clusters.

5. An information handling process for use with observations, comprising:
-
a) defining one or more booklets in a first level, each of said booklets comprising one or more booklet items in a second level and having a defined weight or price or value; b) defining one or a plurality of input sources, each of said input sources having a defined weight or price or value; c) providing an opportunity for one or more atoms of each observation to be collected from said input sources, and assigning the collected atoms to related booklet items; d) analyzing the atoms for validity; e) determining an actual value for each collected atom; f) determining a scaled value for each atom based on a possible range of values for the atom and the actual value of the atom; g) determining at which level default values are to be entered for missing values; h) entering a missing replacement value at the determined level where there are no observations; i) for booklet items containing one or more atoms, enabling an option for a user to set one or both methods of averaging the scaled values to result in a scaled average or averaging the scaled values to store the atom as a data point or price or value or weight a combination of data point price or value or weight within a data source; j) determining a roll-up value or price or weight or a combination of a value or price or weight for the first level; and k) utilizing the roll-up calculations for the first level to determine a price or weight or value or a combination of price or weight or value to associate with each booklet. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 18)
