DIGITAL SYSTEM FOR ORGANIZING DIVERSE INFORMATION

摘要

A system for creating links among diverse elements in order to convey a variety of logical relationships. The system uses a unique approach to browser development in order to allow for the delayed transformation of data which has undergone either a change to its actual value, or a change in its relationship to other data. Linked data is left unevaluated until a user desires to view the data through a user interface. This delayed evaluation conserves bandwidth and system resources, and further enables the system to more efficiently create, organize, and maintain relationships between large volumes of diverse elements.

主权项

1. A system for organizing diverse data within a computer processing environment comprising:
at least one composite type-link comprising;
a source element;a target element;a type-link for relating the source element to the target element wherein the type-link has user-definable parameters, and wherein a user-elected relationship defines how changes to the source element and target element are made based on changes made to the target element and source element, respectively; a user interface for displaying the at least one composite type-link; and a kernel that propagates changes between the source elements and the target elements, and conducts delayed transformations wherein changes indicated by type-links are not evaluated until there is a change to a source element corresponding to a respective type-link, and the kernel will re-compute only transformations dependent on the source element corresponding to the respective type-link.
