Abstract: At least one database is organized as a plurality of records, wherein each record contains information associated with one individual person, and a portion of the information is customizable into at least one dynamically productizable dataset. When a request for a plurality of productized datasets is received, and when the request defines fields common to each of the plurality of productized information sets, the database is searched to find records that match the defined fields of the request. Information is retrieved from at least some of the found records that match the defined fields, and at least some of the retrieved information is formed into the plurality of productized datasets. The plurality of productized datasets is communicated to a source of the request.
