Publication number: 20130226638Abstract: Various arrangements for maintaining a listing of candidate resources for a resource request are presented. A resource request may be received. A plurality of resource records may be searched using a first set of search criteria to identify a subset of resource records from the plurality of resource records. Each record of the plurality of resource records may indicate qualifications of a corresponding resource. Each record of the plurality of resource records may also correspond to a person. A selection of candidate resource records may be received from the subset of resource records. A listing of candidate resources that indicates each candidate resource selected by the user may be presented to the user. The listing of candidate resources that indicate each candidate resource selected by the user may be linked to the resource request, such that the listing of candidate resources is presented when the resource request is accessed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2012Publication date: August 29, 2013Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Thomas Colvard, Victoria Leslie, Brian Cohen, Darryl Lee Watson, Kevin John Agatone, Eric Wienke
