Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system that implements a payment initialization input that receives an electronic payment; the payment initialization input generates a payment context with an execution plan; a payments topology comprising a stage router, coupled to the payment initialization input and further in communication with a transform-to-external component and de-duplication component; and the stage router routes the payment context in accordance with the execution plan to a plurality of stages, the plurality of stages comprising a validation stage, an enrichment stage, a controls stage and a clearing stage where after each stage, the payment context is routed back to the stage router before being routed to a subsequent stage.

Abstract: A digital map is provided with information vertex data structures each storing a location, one or more attributes of the space at that location, and a line identifier; and a plan representing a space and comprising a line drawn on the plan between points corresponding to the locations of a plurality of information vertex data structures. The map provides a bespoke, GIS-based geoscience software system that may include several fully integrated and dynamically linked components to better serve both the geoscientist and data user communities. A bespoke database model coupled with a new method of data attribution allows the full variety and complexity of geoscience data and interpretation to be captured.
