SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING, EXECUTING AND SEARCHING THROUGH A FORM OF ACTIVE WEB-BASED CONTENT

摘要

Xml pages are obtained from knowledge bases that contain step by step instructions. The xml pages are presented as "active content," by which we mean a series of prompted questions and answers. A user's interactions with the active content is recorded so that the results may be copied to the user's clipboard for automatic transfer to a problem management/ticketing system. Active content that contains embedded questions asked of the user may be used to infer answers to some of the questions from a search query, and, thus, alleviate the need for the user to answer them.
