Abstract: A unique process-oriented task database contains a hierarchal organization of work tasks. A service provider selects one or more tasks from the database to populate a record corresponding to the service provider; and the record is recorded in a service provider database. A consumer selects tasks from the task database to query the service provider database. The consumer then searches the service provider database with a search engine using tasks selected from the task database. The search engine returns a list of one or more service providers satisfying the search criteria, including the process-oriented task or tasks that the service provider selected from the task database.
