Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and computer program product for automatically performing data operations. A request and one of a template or an identifier for said template is received. The template specifies at least a first set of previously recorded data and a second set of previously recorded data. The first set of previously recorded data describes a first data source, first operation data, and first result structure data. The first operation data describes at least one criterion used in performing a first data operation on said first data source and producing first results in accordance with said first result structure data. The second set of previously recorded data describes a second data source, second operation data, and second result structure data. The second operation data is used in performing a second data operation on said second data source and producing second results in accordance with said second result structure data.

Abstract: Described are a method, system and computer program product for linking related data records. An element is selected from a user interface. The element displays data associated with a first record representing an instance of a collection of data about a first subject. A request is issued in response to said selecting. The request specifies a second subject and a key value. The key value is used in identifying a related record from other records associated with said second subject. The request is received. A collection of data is searched using search criteria including said second subject and said key value to identify said related record in said collection. A response is returned which includes data corresponding to said related record. Also described is a method and computer program product for linking a first record associated with a first subject with a related record associated with a second subject. Information is recorded while performing steps in connection with generation of a first record.
