Abstract: Search and discovery enhanced by providing information context. Searchable content might be embedded in contexts, which describe or limit the content's intentionality. For health-care content, contexts might include symptoms, testing, diagnosis, treatment, indicators and contra-indicators, prognosis for recovery, and otherwise. A content publisher might describe the intended context for that content. A content reviewer might specify additional contexts for that content. Content searches are enhanced using those contexts; searches thus return information focused on those intended.

Abstract: A system for extracting and dynamically displaying data from a database comprises a central processing unit, an input device, a program memory, a display device, a printer, mass storage, and a network. The program memory comprises management records for retrieving and updating information in the database, and dynamic documents for presenting database information to the user. The information from one or more underlying commercial databases is structured and reorganized into management records. The management records interact with the dynamic documents to reformat the data into the form desired by the user. Both the management records and dynamic documents are also used to execute operations on the data in the database such as sorts, filters, and logical and mathematical functions. The present invention also include a plurality of unique methods for extracting and updating data in the underlying databases.
