Abstract: A data processing system comprises a database located on a web site and a plurality of independent generators of raw data signals each associated with a user known to the owner of the web site and each able to be connected to the web site, such as through an internet service provide. The data signals are processed at the database, by means of an analysis engine in accordance with parameters chosen by or specific to each user or group of users, to produce processed data that are stored on a server associated with the database and which are selectively accessible to individual users on conditions prearranged with the owner of the database. The data processing system is particularly one in which the owner of some data-processing software sells licenses to firms or individuals who wish to use that software to analyze results of data-generating equipment sold to them by said owner.
