<p>A number of items of data from a data source (12) can be processed and then deposited in a data destination (16, 17). The data can be image data, text data, numerical data or some type of data, or a combination of these types of data. The processing of the data is controlled by a project definition (14, 71, 101), which includes a plurality of modules selected from a variety of available modules (Tables 1-4). The modules have input and output ports which are interrelated by binding information. A simple and user-friendly interface (501) is provided to facilitate the accurate and efficient creation and modification of sophisticated project definitions by persons who have only limited computer skills.</p> |
