Abstract:
An object-oriented data management method and system comprising nested structural-elements that form inter-related containers of IRC-Infoids that include information, processing-rules, and an atomic-action layer, enabling functions to operate across disparate-systems using self-normalizing data-definitions is disclosed. The creation and management of the IRC-Infoid objects, rules and actions are handled by an IRC-Infoid Engine. The IRC-Infoid is an object with its own definitions, properties, and rules, related to a single parent element. Six properties define the IRC-Infoid: event, user, file, message, data and relationship. These properties follow inter-relationship rules, which force internal consistency, data optimization, and maintain data integrity. The IRC-Infoid data structure includes documentation, thought leadership and chatter, which when parsed through the rule sets, gets attached to standard or triggered actions, including periodic updates and called actions for use across disparate systems.
