<p>A method and system for facilitating information exchange between individuals and entities interacting on a shared project are provided, and more particularly a method and system for horizontal, i.e., non-hierarchical, participation in and/or contribution to a spreadsheet-based project (108). The method and system is Web-based and utilizes conventional browser (110) and spreadsheet technology to achieve collaborative exchanges of information on an enterprise-wide basis. The method and system also facilitate efficient remote information access and exchange, e.g., over a computer network (106) such as the Internet and/or the World Wide Web, through a caching function that combines individual queries initiated by a spreadsheet program before transmitting across a network to a server for consideration.</p> |
