Evaluation comments of the invention disclosure are transmitted by the evaluator via e-mail. The e-mail messages are easily transmitted and received between users within the intranet for providing notification and status of the invention disclosure. The hyperlinks embedded within selected e-mail messages allows a user to access the invention disclosure to provide a user friendly and efficient method of distributing an invention disclosure within an organization or company.

Abstract: A system and method for parsing an electronic media database structure to produce tagged data that preserves the content, links, and electronic media structure. In particular, HyperText Markup Language (HTML) data is generated as an Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) (home page) linked into a relative structure of Web pages to support IETM deployment. An extraction process assesses the functionality associated with each node designated for presentation and builds a virtual Web, based on attributes stored in the IETM database. A series of Web pages with links that hierarchically presents IETM data at run time is produced. The method supports a data warehousing strategy that converts any data type eligible within the relational database. This expands support across multiple types of technical and engineering data. The preferred implementation utilizes a relative addressed pure HTML solution viewable in standard Web browsers.
