Distributed commerce system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented networked commercial interaction management method, comprising the steps of:
- distributing information bundles from different ones of a first plurality of different networked users to different ones of a second plurality of different networked users according to a machine-readable format that includes values for a plurality of content attribute descriptors, wherein each of the information bundles includes values for a plurality of information fields characterizing commercial interactions associated with at least one of the first and second plurality of different networked users, and wherein a portion of said content attribute descriptors include business language definition descriptors that specify the descriptive metadata of each of the information bundles, wherein the business language definition descriptors comprise at least one keyword having at least one value;
monitoring the distribution from the first plurality of different networked users to the second plurality of different networked users by a statistics engine;
monitoring at least one response from the second plurality of different networked users by the statistics engine;
managing commercial interactions between at least one of the first plurality of different networked users and at least one of the second plurality of different networked users using the information bundles;
based on the at least one keyword and the at least one value of the business language definition descriptors, deriving first traffic statistics based on the distribution from the first plurality of different networked users to the second plurality of different networked users by the statistics engine; and
based on the at least one keyword and the at least one value of the business language definition descriptors, deriving second traffic statistics based on the at least one response from the second plurality of different networked users by the statistics engine.

Abstract
A computer-implemented networked commercial interaction management method distributes information bundles that include values for a plurality of content attribute descriptors and information fields characterizing commercial interactions. The content attribute descriptors include business language definition descriptors that specify the descriptive metadata of each of the information bundles, having at least one keyword having at least one value. The method monitors the distribution, response and manages the commercial interactions between networked users. Based on the keyword and the business language definition descriptors, the method derives traffic statistics based on the distribution and the response from the networked users via a statistics engine.

20. A computer implemented networked commercial interaction management method, comprising the steps of:
-
distributing information bundles according to a machine-readable format that includes values for content attribute descriptors and values for information fields characterizing commercial interactions associated with at least one of first networked users and one of second networked users, and wherein a portion of said content attribute descriptors include business language definition descriptors that specify descriptive metadata of each of the information bundles, said information bundles adapted to be received from at least one of the first networked users and adapted to be sent to at least one of the second networked users wherein the business language definition descriptors comprise at least one keyword having at least one value; monitoring the distribution from the first plurality of different networked users to the second plurality of different networked users by a statistics engine; monitoring at least one response from the second plurality of different networked users by the statistics engine; managing commercial interactions between the at least one of the first networked users and the at least one of the second networked users using the information bundles; and based on the at least one keyword and the at least one value of the business language definition descriptors, deriving first traffic statistics based on the distribution from the first plurality of different networked users to the second plurality of different networked users by the statistics engine; and based on the at least one keyword and the at least one value of the business language definition descriptors and based on the at least one response from the second plurality of different networked users, deriving second traffic statistics based on the at least one response from the second plurality of different networked users by the statistics engine.
