Abstract:
1. A method for facilitating sharing of information in a computer network in which the information is used to at least partially complete an online form, the method comprising: accessing, at a host computer, a first data profile containing a non-filtered set of data corresponding to a first user; creating, at the host computer, a filtered first data profile containing a filtered set of data, wherein the filtered set of data is taken from the first data profile; coalescing, at the host computer, data from the filtered first data profile and data from a second data profile to construct a third data set, wherein the third data set is converted to shippable code; transmitting the shippable code including the third data set to a client computer, wherein the third data set is used to complete the online form such that certain data items required by the online form relating to the first user are taken from the filtered first data profile portion of the third data set; and, receiving, at the host computer, a completed online form when the online form contains a modified data item, wherein the first data profile is updated with the modified data item, and wherein the completed online form includes viewable profile data populated from the filtered first data profile portion of the third data set.
