Abstract: A system, apparatus, and related methods for the collection, standardization, evaluation, and processing of entity life and care information from diverse information systems and sources. After collection, the life and/or care data and information contained in a particular message is transformed, which includes being standardized, processed, evaluated, and converted, into a Curated Manifest (CM), a persisted and immutable document compatible with the particular configuration and design of the ILR platform/system in a specific context. The CM is stored in one or more databases, along with a multiplicity of other CMs. Contextual Best Record (CBR) views, which may be standard, pre-established views or views constructed “on-the-fly” or “on demand”, are used to find, locate, identify and report responsive data from the stored CMs.
