Abstract: A method of and system for evaluating contacts stored in data source. In one embodiment the method allows a user to define a data format; allows a user to define a plurality of rules intended to operate on and assess a quality of data formatted according to the data format; map data identifying a plurality of contacts from the data source to the data format; and execute the plurality of rules on the mapped data to produce a set of analyzed data that allows evaluation of potential contacts according to an assessed quality of the data.

Abstract: A method and system automatically creates and operates a web application from a spreadsheet without the need for specialized programming. The web application includes a guided data entry process created from spreadsheet worksheets. The web application interfaces with a database application, so that model data may be retrieved for analysis. The web application implements the model as a calculator data defining the relationships between the model values. A rendering data defines the appearance of the model values in the web application. A instance data includes the model values for an instance of the web application. A calculation engine calculates model values. A layout engine creates display information from the calculator, rendering, and instance data set. The rendering data includes objects having display methods for creating display information in accordance with its object type. Object types include inputs, outputs, and user interface elements.

Abstract: Users can create computational models in a spreadsheet application and automatically apply the model to data stored in a relational database. By importing a sample of the data from a database table into the spreadsheet application, users can build spreadsheet models that perform analysis and computations on the sample data. Once the model is complete, the spreadsheet model is translated into an SQL format model understood by the database. The SQL model can operate on the entire data set in the database, rather than just the sample data used to construct the model. The SQL model and its associated data are stored in the database, and the model can be executed on a different sets of data. A web browser based front-end allows model users to access the SQL model via a web browser, eliminating the need for model users to have a spreadsheet application.
