Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for executing a first operation using a first system, the first operation generating first output data, generating a first fieldset, the first fieldset including one or more fields corresponding to the first output data, populating the one or more fields of the first fieldset with values of the first output data, transmitting the first output data to a second system, executing a second operation using the second system, the second operation generating second output data, the second output data overlapping the first output data, generating a second fieldset, the second fieldset including one or more fields corresponding to the first output data and the second output data, and populating the one or more fields of the second fieldset with values of the second output data.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved method and apparatus for information routing and sharing in multiple computer networks, which can facilitate automatic integration of diverse network and data systems. In an integrated data network comprising multiple computer systems, distinct information users and sources are treated as “Blocks” 1. An information Routing Layer 3 coupled to the Blocks provides for the routing of information stored in the form of Datasets, which are sets of field names, types, values and other components, from one Block 1 to another by a process of “Information Routing”, such that an Aggregate Route can be constructed as required to meet a request from a Block in the integrated data network without programmatic or specified workflow reference to other Blocks using one or more available Datasets and novel Functions to supply and process information as required.
