Abstract: An automated interactive record system for automatically indexing a set of data obtained from a number of internal and external input sources. A set of data is organized along at least one indexing dimension. Specific data events are identified from the set of data according to predetermined methods. An index of data objects associated with the specific data events is then established. The index of data objects is then displayed along the indexing dimension and actuators are defined for manipulating the data objects that are associated with specific data events.
