System and method for the storage and access of electronic data in a web-based computer system
First Claim
1. A computer implemented system for accessing and presenting information on a graphical user interface relating to assets of an organization, the assets comprising processes and procedures for the organization, said system comprising:
- a plurality of assets each stored in a single location in a database wherein each of the assets has a profile associated therewith and each of the profiles includes a plurality of hierarchical identifiers, wherein the hierarchal identifiers include a plurality of tier designations associated with particular organizational levels within the organization, wherein the tier designations include;
tier 0 which relates to organization policy statements, tier 1 which relates to policy documents which relate to a unit within the organization, tier 2 which relates to the unit'"'"'s processes and procedures, tier 3 which relates to processes and procedures for one or more subunits, and tier 4 which relates to information not otherwise classifiable;
a plurality of interactive screen displays, each presentable on a user interface and accessible over a data network, at least one of the interactive screen displays including the tier designations which are user selectable therefrom;
a search and compile apparatus, which in response to a user selected tier designation from one of the interactive screen displays, performs a search of the profiles and identifies the assets which include the selected tier designation; and
a user interface page generator which based on selections made by a system user dynamically generates one or more pages which include selected data for the identified assets, wherein the one or more pages are presentable on a user interface device and configured such that the selected data for the identified assets is further selectable by a system user and associated data for the identified assets is presentable on the user interface device, wherein the associated data includes at least a document version of the asset and any change requests associated with the asset.

Abstract
A system and method for the organization and storage of organizational assets such that these items are accessible through employment of various web-based tools. The system includes a database within which a number of assets and/or related information may be stored. Included with each entry in the database is at least one classification identifier which is searchable. A user of the system described herein may access the system over a data network such as the Internet, and through the employment of various interactive screen displays, initiate searches, identify matching assets, and view listings of assets.

10. A computer implemented method of accessing and presenting stored assets of an organization on a user interface, the assets comprising processes and procedures for the organization, said method comprising the steps of:
-
associating a profile with each of the stored assets wherein each of the profiles includes a plurality of hierarchal identifiers, the hierarchal identifiers including a plurality of tier designations associated with particular organizational levels within the organization, wherein the tier designations include;
tier 0 which relates to organization policy statements, tier 1 which relates to policy documents which relate to a unit within the organization, tier 2 which relates to the unit'"'"'s processes and procedures, tier 3 which relates to processes and procedures for one or more subunits, and tier 4 which relates to information not otherwise classifiable;
detecting a connection of a system user over a data network and presenting at least one interactive screen display which includes the tier designations which are user selectable therefrom;
based on a selected tier designation by a system user, searching the profiles of the stored assets to identify the profiles which include the selected tier designation;
dynamically generating one or more pages for presentation on the display which include identification information for all assets with profiles which include the selected tier designation, wherein the identification information for the assets is further selectable by the system user and associated data for the assets associated with the identified profiles is presentable;
presenting links to document forms of the assets as apart of the associated data; and
presenting links to any change requests associated with the assets as part of the associated data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21)
