Abstract: The system and method of this disclosure calculates an indicator of a product's sustainability (i.e., green-ness) based on an algorithm that considers membership of a component(s) of the product in regulatory lists (grouped by regulatory category), the percentage of the component in the product and weighting factors for the regulatory categories. The algorithm can run the calculation for every component of the product, and for every regulatory category to determine a sustainability indicator for a classification, such as a health related classification, environmental related classification, physical hazard classification, etc.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for querying a database and, optionally, producing a document including a result of the database query. The invention includes a graphical user interface (GUI) for assembling a graphical representation comprising one or more information controls, logical operator controls, and command controls. In a preferred embodiment, one or more of the information controls, logical operator controls, and command controls may be modified by a user to include a parameter. In one embodiment, the invention provides a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising: at least one information control identifying data in a database; at least one command control; and at least one logical operator control for connecting at least one of: a first information control and a command control; and a second information control and a third information control.
