Abstract: A content delivery system (100) comprises a trusted holder of profile data (200) arranged to store information concerning a conscious entity, a content delivery requirement entity (210), a content intermediary entity (226); and a source of content (232). The trusted holder of profile data (200) is arranged to issue (230) profile reference data to the content delivery requirement entity in response to a request (222) therefrom, and to communicate (224) the profile reference data and at least part of the stored information concerning the conscious entity to the content intermediary entity (226), the request for content provision (222) being capable of identifying the conscious entity to the trusted holder of profile data. The content intermediary entity (226) is arranged to source, when in use, relevant content from the source of content (232) using the at least part of the stored information concerning the conscious entity.

Abstract: Business scorecard software provides management with traffic light displays to reflect strategy, objectives and targets. Typically, these systems focus on the Kaplan and Norton Balanced Scorecard and scorecarding of numbers. Search engines, knowledge retrieval systems and web portals use meta data to retrieve relevant information. The current invention provides a way to use the meta data inherent in an enhanced scorecard to enable focussed and efficient search and retrieval based on purpose or intent and thereby to create focussed purposeful web portals. Management expertise is the ability to achieve targets by implementing processes and developing appropriate climate and culture. The current invention provides a way to codify expertise and knowledge in relation to targets, process and culture as Process DNA, so that expertise can be captured and reused on-demand.

Abstract: A content delivery system is provided for delivering content relevant to a profile. The system comprises a server (106) arranged to store a plurality of data elements (114) having a plurality of respective profiles associated therewith. The server (106) is further arranged to mine the plurality of data elements relative to another data element having another profile associated therewith. The server (106) is consequently able to identify at least one of the plurality of data elements having as great a relevance as possible to the another profile. The plurality of respective profiles constitute respective meta-data, and the another data element and at least one of the plurality of data elements comprise data relating to a profiling model. The server (106) is capable of delivering the identified at least one of the plurality of data element to a recipient terminal (102).
