BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
This invention relates in general to a computer-based database system, and more particularly to a Human Resource Networking System and Method Thereof, which is a computer-based data integration and management processing system and method thereof for Project workforce locating, identifying, and fulfilling. In addition, occupational reports generate Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct per the System's CCIV&V Method, that allows additional reports to be generated from the Conjunctive Project Sentence of Credit Construct that inform, promote, network and market a workforce's Talents, Skills, Performances, Products, and Services per our System's Credit Link Method.
2. Description of Related Arts
In the 1980's, government reports caught the applicant's attention with the pronouncement that entertainment professionals should anticipate a life expectancy second only to those mining for coal! While actuaries cite personal life styles, this invention references professional work styles as the major cause for the professional's shortened life expectancy. “You're only as good as your last Gig,” is an industry axiom resulting from highly capricious industry Projects whose volatile work styles may last one hour, one month or one lifetime. A professional having their next performance lined up while still working is an exception rather than the rule.
No matter if one performs in front of or behind the camera, microphone, stage, screen, cage, whip or desk, the bulk of one's career is spent networking for that next gig which, in some instances, may never come. While staying employed on a regular basis can be enhanced with a good manager, developing personal networking skills is a workforce professional must. Full time employment in Project-related industries requires modes of continuous workforce readjustment, no matter the Industry, the Project, or Performance type. The challenge of being in the right place at the right time, fulfilling a present workforce commitment while not knowing when one's next job will occur, greatly contributes, I believe, to our Industry Workforce's shortened life expectancy.
This Project Workforce employment challenge is not unique to the entertainment industry, as it exists as an unsolved professional and human resource problem in all “Project-driven industries.” Interestingly, to date there is no one method or system available for identifying, locating, and fulfilling a Project's workforce requirements that uses live qualified industry Project credits. There is no one method or system that also includes keeping verified industry skills and talents, correct work contact addresses and phone numbers, as well as one's records for work availability. The various systems that exist do so at the exclusion of others. While offering reduced services and reports that are neither relational nor dynamically assembled, they also do not offer one's efforts in assurance style credit reports that more or less follow generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which include Compilation, Review and (System) Certified as does this Method of the present invention.
In reality, existing conventional entertainment workforce systems are not open systems, but are closed systems. For example, www.thelink.com is an existing closed entertainment workforce system for union members only. Furthermore, it is not relational, it does not track industry Places and Things used in developing industry Projects, and it does not report audited industry credits as does our System's CCIV&V Method. In addition, its credits are not automatically generated with additional Credit Links as are the credits generated by the Method of the present invention.
However, there are new requirements for global products whose markets are constantly changing with the advent of newer technologies. We find talent moving about, changing addresses, phone numbers, managers and agents, as they search out production companies whose workforce requirements are adjusting to these changing markets.
In addition, entertainment companies, such as Universal Studios, are re-locating to facilities once thought too remote for production. It's only a matter of time before all facilities require a knowledgeable workforce equipped with the latest networking technologies required for tomorrow's worldwide just-in-time production requirements. The use of old-fashioned methods (printed publications and one's ability to professionally network) mostly determines how this closed workforce is staffed today. However competing in tomorrow's worldwide markets may be the reason the present closed systems disappear, as world areas experiencing recession market their services, products and workforce against those world areas that are prospering. This coming world marketplace will give rise to the network that allows those possessing in-demand skills, talents, products and services to market these skills, talents, products, and services to worldwide supply-and-demand buyers. At this time, no such human resource system or workforce method exists.
Today hundreds of resumes may be submitted for any one entertainment job on a given day, but how can Project Managers take the time to independently identify, verify and validate a resume's reported credits in light of today's quick-paced production needs when they are forced to economize by cutting manpower.
Conventional systems monitoring addresses, phones numbers, and points of contact for work are orientated towards doing business the old-fashioned manual way, which is networking by personal contacts and searching existing linear and non-linear systems such as printed directories. The LA 411, published by LA 411 Publishing company, is a non-interactive system whose published data cannot be updated as changes occur, but only on its annual publication. It also performs an incomplete fractionalized job, as it does not service all industries of entertainment, does not encompass all industry Professionals and Services, nor does it serve entertainment Consumers and Students of fine art, as does this invention.
While a few entertainment industry methods utilizing new technologies are beginning to emerge, as in the case of Pro Audio (www.proaudio.com), they are available only for a particular media category, and not all media categories as is this invention. In some cases, as with Pro Audio, they list only two of our invention's Elements. These services basically specialize in one form of media and do not offer a system designed to serve all entertainment industries. A human resource service for movies, such as Castnet, services actors only. In addition, Castnet does not offer independent identification, validation and verification of industry credits, does not track Projects, is non-relational, and uses traditional styled printed formats for its resumes. Additionally, its credits are not conjunctive, they are not independently identified, verified, and validated as in the present invention's CCIV&V Method, and they do not report Credit Constructs containing additional occupational reports as either Compilation, Review or (System) Certified, as does this System's Credit Links Method. Furthermore, some systems are designed for Consumers and not industry Professionals, whereas the present invention is equally for Consumers, Professionals and Students of fine arts.
Some methods use systems designed primarily for marketing entertainment products as in the case of www.imdb.com. While www.imdb.com provides information regarding movies, the information is not reported as a Project Workforce Networking System which is relational and whose Credit Data is constantly being uplifted automatically with live industry credit bytes. Existing systems for other entertainment industries, such as www.allmusic.com, are focused with a system unlike the present invention mentioned in this specification. U.S. Pat. No. 5,197,004 is not designed to work with a Relational Database, and therefore does not have rules like the present invention. Therefore the data is not updateable, and the system lacks a CCIV&V method and the ability to learn. Additionally, data on its resumes cannot be saved to build a human resource database. The human resource system U.S. Pat. No. 5,416,694 is not applicable in that the Elements are not similar. Additionally U.S. Pat. No. 5,671,409 is not applicable for several reasons, the least of which is that the Element data is not updateable with live data.
In summary, there does not exist today an entertainment Human Resource Networking System for a workforce specializing in Project-driven development. There does not exist a method for locating, identifying, and fulfilling production Project workforce requirements that uses this System's Credit Constructs, which are Independently Identified, Verified and Validated, more or less following generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and which offers Credit Links to added occupational reports defined by the System's Method to at least include Informational (Credit) Links, Instance (Credit) Links, Transactional (Credit) Links, and Access-to-Programming (Credit) Links. Until such tools are available, time-consuming individual research and personal networking skills will prevail, as well as the opportunity to exaggerate one's UNaudited industry credits as official industry credits and reference guidelines for Project employment.
Therefore, a longstanding need still exists for such a Method, and that need now becomes more acute in this new age of worldwide economies and information. The need still exists for a talent locator that locates talent and skills via Compiled, Reviewed and Certified Credit Constructs—a Credit Construct that further networks a talent's news releases, media reels, and e-storefront, that provides a talent with the ability to research and poll viewers, that readily provides an economic and convenient location for a world-wide presence that presents specific workforce skills, talents, products and services for a human resource industry, and which allows the talent to be in the right place at the right time to do the right thing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to the drawings of the invention, a Human Resource Networking System and Method Thereof are illustrated. It is also understood that the components could be designed, arranged and developed in a myriad of configurations not displayed. It is also understood that the following detailed description of the present invention as referenced in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention as claimed, but is only for illustration of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The present preferred embodiments of the invention will best be understood by reference to the drawings, wherein parts are designated by reference numerals throughout.
Referring to FIG. 1, a Client Computer System 700, comprising a Keyboard 702, a device that establishes a two-way communication through a network, such as a Modem 704 and/or a Network Adapter Card 710, may connect to a Web Server 716 for retrieving web pages via a communication network used for a client-server setup, such as the Internet, an Intranet, an Extranet Internet or a Local Area Network 714. The Web Server 716 is connected to a System Server 718 which is connected to a Storage Device 720 and delivers the information in Relational Databases 100 which contacts the System Server 718, wherein the Web Server 716 contacts the System Server 718 to retrieve the information from a Disk/Storage Device 720. The Disk/Storage Device 720 can be a hard drive or a networked storage device, in which the data in the Relational Databases 100 resides in the Disk/Storage Device 720.
Referring to FIG. 2a, a People Credit Input Module 314, a Places Credit Input Module 316, a Projects Credit Input Module 318, and a Things Credit Input Module 320 are used by the Client Computer System 700 (as shown in FIG. 1) to perform Data Input 300 into a Relational Databases 100.
All the information is stored in the Relational Database 100 which contains a Relational Information 120 and an Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162, i.e., the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162, as shown in FIG. 2a, for data storage and retreival.
The Data 800 is located in the Disk/Storage Device 720, and is accessed by the System Server 718 (as shown in FIG. 1). The Relational Databases 100 are divided into the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162, which is located on the System Server 718, and the Relational Information 120.
The People Credit Input Module 314, which is used, for example by a data entry person, to input the Associative Information 121 from the People 202, is a programmed module that is used to Edit and Update the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162 with Associative Information 121 from the People Relational or Associative Information Process 304.
The Places Credit Input Module 316, which is used, for example by a data entry person, to input the Associative Information 121 from the Places 204, is a programmed module used to Edit and Update the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162 with Associative Information 121 from the Places Relational or Associative Information Process 306.
The Projects Credit Input Module 318, which is used, for example by a data entry person, to input the Associative Information 121 from the Projects 216, is a programmed module used to Edit and Update the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162 with Associative Information 121 from the Projects Relational or Associative Information Process 308.
The Things Credit Input Module 320, which is used, for example by a data entry person, to input the Associative Information 121 from the Things 218, is a programmed module that is used to Edit and Update the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162 with Associative Information 121 from the Things Relational or Associative Information Process 310.
A People Query Module 506, a Places Query Module 508, a Projects Query Module 510, and a Things Query Module 512 are used by the Client Computer System 700 (as shown in FIG. 1), to query the Relational Databases 100, through a People Search Engine 518, a Places Search Engine 520, a Projects Search Engine 522, and a Things Search Engine 524 respectively.
The People Search Engine 518 queries the database and returns People Credit Bytes 166 which are Associations 176 of People 202 to Places 204, People 202 to Projects 216, People 202 to Things 218, and People 202 to People 202 extracted for a People 202 Search Return 528 that is a list of People 202 that meet a Query Matrix 514 criteria, as shown in FIG. 15, which is a combination of Credit Bytes 164 on the reporting function, or a combination of search arguments on the search function, wherein the Credit Bytes 164 are information that is output from the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162, comprising Elements 201 and Associative Values 116. The Credit Bytes 164 are output from the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162 and are used in the ConjunctiveProject Sentences of Credit Construct 551. The process occurs in a Report Writer 502, as shown in FIG. 9a and FIG. 13, which is a module that creates reports from the database, receives information from the Relational Databases 100, and produces Press Kit Reports 550 and Search Returns 528 (as shown in FIG. 13) in response to queries.
The Query Matrix 514 shows how the Credit Bytes 164 (as shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b) work and it shows how the search arguments work in performing the System's functions. This is the format of the information going in as a search or coming out from Credit Bytes 164. The Query Matrix 514 is constructed in the Report Writer 502.

These Phases 902 are possible Data 800 for the Point In Time 112 in the Point In Time Table 118. Each of the Phases 902 of the Project 216 has a Start Time 904 and an End Time 906 which are attributes in the Point In Time Table 118. The Associative Value 116 is an Effort on the Phase 898 with its own unique Start Time 904 and End Time 906. The Start Time 904 and End Time 906 corresponding to the Associative Value 116 may appear Within the Phase 898, or Outside the Phase 900, determined by the Start Time 904 and the End Time 906 of the Associative Value 116 compared with that of the Phase 902. The Phases 902 form an Axial Line 896 with the pictorial Phase Box 894.
FIG. 17e illustrates a Project Type Mouseover 913 revealing a Project Buy Dialog Box 912 in order to purchase goods related to the Projects 216.

In addition, the Auto Credits Page 918 will display future Projects 216 and Not Yet Released Projects 952. An Input Source Rollover 942, as shown in FIG. 17f, reports the name of the Input Source 1120 and a User Rating 1140 when a user rolls over the Associative Value 116. There are also links for the Media Categories 156 Music 954, Theater 956, Radio 958, Movies 960, Television 962, Multimedia 964, the Web 966, and Other 968. The subcategories of Other 968 can include, but are not limited to, Fashion, Literature, and the Arts.
FIG. 17g illustrates that the Physical Attributes 222 may be displayed. The embodiment may desire to not allow Physical Attributes 222 to be accessed by the People Search Engine 518, Places Search Engine 520, Projects Search Engine 522, or Things Search Engine 524.
Referring to FIG. 18, an Automated Press Kit with Auto Credits Report 920 displays the Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct from the People Point of View 554, the Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct from the Places Point of View 580, the Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct from the Projects Point of View 600, and the Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct from the Things Point of View 612 that do not appear elsewhere on any Press Kit Report 550, as shown in FIG. 13.
Referring to FIG. 19a, a process for Credit Construct Independent Identification, Validation, and Verification, CCIV&V's 940 is used for auditing the submitted Credit Data 302. Credit Data Gathered 1080 is sent to the Data Input 300 process, and is classified as CCIV&V's 940 Level 1 Compilation 1074. Credit Data Gathered 1080 is sent to the Data Input 300 process and then sent to the Credit Data Reviewed and Validated by Press Kit Owner Process 1082 and is classified as CCIV&V's 940 Level 2 Reviewed 1076. Credit Data Gathered 1080 is sent to the Data Input 300 process and then sent to the Credit Data Reviewed and Validated by Press Kit Owner Process 1082 and the Credit Data Verified & Certified by a Third Party Process 1084 and is classified as CCIV&V's 940 Level 3 Certified 1078. The Report Writer 502 will report the Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct from the People Point of View 554, Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct from the Places Point of View 580, Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct from the Projects Point of View 600, and Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct from the Things Point of View 612 that have been Independently Identified, Validated, and Verified according to three Levels of CCIV&V's 940.
FIG. 19b illustrates various Maintenance Modules 322 which are programmed modules used to maintain and edit existing information, including the Press Kit Parameters 160 which may be set according to user preference, the lists of Organizations 146, the Awards 220, the Point In Time Table 118, and the Associative Values 116.
The Press Kit Parameters 160 is maintained by a Maintain Press Kit Parameters 332 which is a process for changing the Press Kit Parameters 160 for a particular Element's 201 Press Kit Report 550, as part of the Data Input 300 process or in response to user request, wherein the Press Kit Construction Rules 938 are the rules for constructing the Press Kit Reports 550 so as to control the selection of Featured Individual 926, the wording of Module titles, and the notation of the Method's CCIV&V's 940.
A Maintain Organizations Process 324, which is used to maintain the list of Organizations 146, to add new Organizations 146, to remove Organizations 146, and to edit Organizations 146, maintains the values found in the list of Organizations 146 in order to eliminate duplicate entries, and incorrectly combined entries, and to ensure that the values are correctly spelled, wherein a set of Organization Update Rules 326 is used to govern the decisions involving the adding, removing, and editing of Organizations 146. These Rules 326 are used by the Maintain Organizations Process 324 to determine what Values of information will be allowed in the Relational Database 100.
A Maintain Associative Values Process 328 is used to maintain the list of Associative Values 116 in order to eliminate duplicate entries, and incorrectly combined entries, and to ensure the values are correctly spelled so as to maintain the list of Associative Values 116, to add new Associative Values 116, to remove the Associative Values 116, and to edit the Associative Values 116, wherein a set of Associative Value Rules 329 is used by the Maintain Associative Values Process 328 to determine what values of information will be allowed in the Relational Database 100, i.e., to govern the decisions involving the adding, removing, and editing of Associative Values 116.
A Maintain Awards Process 330 maintains the Awards Table 114 in order to eliminate duplicate entries, and incorrectly combined entries, and to ensure that the values are correctly spelled so as to maintain the Awards Table 114, to add new Awards 220, to remove Awards 220, and to edit Awards 220. A set of Awards Rules 331 that govern the decisions involving the adding, removing, and editing the Awards Table 114 are used by the Maintain Awards Process 330 to determine what values of information will be allowed in the Relational Database 100.
A Maintain the Point In Time Process 424 maintains the Point In Time Table 118 whenever there is a change to the Point In Time Table 118 such as the Data Input 300 process. Also, an Input Audit 434 process is used to maintain the Audit Table 228 by recording input and maintenance actions by the input and the maintenance processes. Timestamp Changes 435 are processed by the Input Audit 434 process for attaching the current time for any input or maintenance action.
It is appreciated that any Future Modules and/or Processes 334 as illustrated in FIG. 2a, that may access the System, and/or produce different reports from the same information and to illustrate that the reports and the existing Data Input 300 process are not the only means for inputting and outputting from the system.
Referring to FIG. 20a, the Search Queries 632, 634, 636 are passed into the People Search Engine 518, the Places Search Engine 520, the Projects Search Engine 522, and the Things Search Engine 524 to Query 622 the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162.

Regarding the rules for People 202, for People Credit Sentence Structure for Press Kit Report 550, if the Media Category 156 is Music 954, display the Performing Artist 1110. If the Projects 216 is a song, and the parent Projects 216 is an album, display the album name and the owner. If the Projects 216 is an episode and the parent is a TV show, display the TV show name and the owner.
Regarding the rules for Groups, when entering the People 202 information, the following transactions are required:
Note: Groups are treated as facilities
1. Create a Group information record using the Places 204 maintenance screen.
2. Create a Places 204 to Places 204 Association 176 (parent no provider) (used as Places 204 in the Element 201 Association 176).
3. Create an Element 201 Association 176 using the Professional Name 235 (People 202), Group name (Places 204) and Role 178 is Member. Note: no contribution needed.
4. Member of the Group on a Project 216 is known by there being an Element 201 Association 176 containing PROFESSIONAL Name 235 & Group. A PEOPLE Name 234 & Group means that you worked for the Group example (hairdresser).
This will allow the People Press Kit 552 to display that they were a member on a Projects 216. And what they did as a Member of the Group on the Project 216.
When entering the Group information, the following transactions are required:
Note: Groups are treated as Professional Name 235
1. Create a Group information record using the Places 204 maintenance screen.
2. Create a Professional Name 235 record for each Member.
3. Create a People 202 to Places 204 Association 176 using the Professional Name 235, the Associative Values 116 are current Member or past Member, Company Position is what they do in the Group example (drummer) (populates the member section in the Press Kit Report 550).
4. Create a Places 204 to People 202 with the Group as the Professional Name 235 and the Association 176 FreeLance (used as the People 202 record in the Element 201 Association 176).
5. When an individual is no longer a Member, they are removed from the People 202 to Places 204 Association 176.
6. Create an Element 201 Association 176 using the Group Name (People 202), performance location (Places 204 facility) and Role 178.
7. This will allow the Group Press Kit Report 550 to display current Members and the Group's Role 178 on the Projects 216.
Does not allow for the display of the Members that performed with the Group on the Projects 216. For this the user would need to input Member transaction.
If the user performed with the Group (not as a Member), then the Group is the Performing Artist 1110 on Projects 216 and you had a Role 178 on the Projects 216 (backup singer).
Regarding the rules for adding Groups, Groups can be added by creating a transaction similar to the facility transaction. The transaction would consist of the People 202, Projects 216, Places 204 (Group) and the Associative Value 116 would be what they did with the band on this Projects 216. It would display in the People Press Kit 552 as another Role 178 on Projects 216.
Regarding the rules for Places 204, for the Places 204 template, the modules will list in the order of the sequence number that is assigned in the Press Kit Parameters 160.
Regarding the Short_co_header1 module layout for Places Press Kit 578, for fixed selections, only Awards 220 that were directly awarded to the Places 204. Media Category 156 lists all categories separated by a comma. Places 204 type is Places 204 type from the Places 204 header record.
Regarding the accepted parameters, for Significant Positions, Default is “owner, president, executive CEO, vice president, manager, sales.” These are company positions. These positions will list in this order. This list can be customized by entering a new list.
In the parameters for “short_co_header1” for Places Press Kit 578 by entering a parameter, the default will be overridden. The column name is “pos_title.” The values must be ones that were entered as a Places 204 position. The parameter type is “include.”
Regarding Places 204 description, default is null. Entering a parameter in the description module for the “Short_co_header1” module can customize the description. The type is “company description.”
Regarding the Short_co_featured_project module layout for Places Press Kit 578, for accepted parameters, if no parameters, the first 5 Projects 216 produced or owned by the company will be displayed in Publication Date 930 order.
Type=Loop controls how many Projects 216 will show. The default is 5.
Type=Order controls the order that the Projects 216 will list. If no order parameter is entered, the Projects 216 default order is Publication Date 930.
Regarding the column name field, for Projects Name 238 (proj_name), or Publication Date 930 (proj_date yyyy), the order parameter can accept both fields on the same record separated by a comma. You can also suffix the list of names in the column name field with description for descending or ascending for ascending.
Type=Includes and Exclude controls what Projects 216 will be displayed.
The program will accept in the Column name field. Places to Projects Associative Value (Contribution Value) 180 (contrib.) will allow Projects 216 for companies other than the owner or producer to show these Projects 216 as featured.
Projects Name 238 (proj_name), Projects 216 ID 101 (proj_id), or Projects 216 Publication Date 930 (proj_date yyyy)
The Value field will contain the Values for that field as in the Relational Database 100. The list is separated by commas.
Type=Sequence controls the absolute order that the Projects 216 will list. If the list of sequence number is less then the Loop number, the remaining Projects 216 will use the default order. Sequence takes precedence over the Order parameter. If Include or Exclude are set, the Sequence will only act upon the Projects 216 that meet the Include or Exclude list.
Regarding the Short_co_buttonsv module layout, this module only adds the links to the Press Kit Report 550 that will display the People 202, Projects 216, Things 218, and Awards 220 that have an Association 176 to the Places 204.
Regarding the Short_co_contact module layout, this module currently has no parameter options and will display all addresses in one column and the other contact information parallel column, telephone numbers.
Regarding the Rules for Places 204 Credit Construct 199, if the credit is in Media Category 156 Television 962 or Radio 958 and Projects 216 type “Commercial,” display the Places 204 with role “Ad Agency” 1116. If the Credit 551 is in Media Category 156 Music 954 and there is a “Performing Artist,” 1110 display the Performing Artist 1110. If the Credits 551 is in Media Category 156 Multimedia 964 and Projects 216 type “Game,” display the Places 204 with the Contribution 180 “Designer” 1118. If the Credit 551 is in Media Category 156 Television 962 and Project Type is not “Commercial”, display “Producer” 1114. If the Credit 551 is in Media Category 156 Radio 958 and Project Type is not “Commercial,” display “Producer” 1114. If the Credit 551 is in Media Category 156 Movies 960, display “Producer” 1114. If the Credit 551 is in the Media Category 156 the Web 966 display “Designer” 1118.
Regarding the Places 204 to Places 204 Maintenance, the users need to establish what the “reason for the Affiliation” 144 is. The users can have “Peer 214 to Peer 214” Associations 176 which are controlled by the value entered. The users have reserved the following words:

    
    
        Distribution
        Joint Venture
        Collaboration
        Service
        Product
    
    


Internal Distribution would be on “Location” record.
In establishing the Associations 176, we have the following rules:
Regarding Supplier/Vendor to Client/Customer, the most common anticipated Association 176 is the following:

    
    
        Supplier/Vendor to Client/Customer
    
    


If there are Supplier/Client Associations 176 in both directions, then you would enter the Association 176 twice—once in each direction.
The Associative Value 116 in this Association 176 would either be “Service” or “Product.”
It is the fact that we did not want to make a client's vendor list or customer list available to his competitors. Therefore, a vendor list or customer list would only be available on special request.
Regarding the Performing Artist 1110 collaboration, another scenario would be if two Performing Artists 1110 collaborate on a Projects 216, we would establish the following Association 176:

    
    
        Performing Artist 1110 to Performing Artist 1110
    
    


The “Associative Value 116” would be “Collaboration.”
Regarding the two Places 204 doing business together, if two Companies are doing business together under a Distribution arrangement, we would establish the following Association 176:
Places 204 to Places 204
The “Associative Value 116” would be “Distribution.”
Regarding the Joint Ventures 213, if two Places 204 are doing a Joint Venture 213 on a Projects 216, we would establish the following Association 176:
Places 204 to Places 204
The “Associative Value 116” for this Association 176 would be “Joint Venture.”
Regarding the sample Places to Places Associative Value (Structure Value) 190, the Places 204 would be entered as an Entertainment Company, Manufacturer, Service. The Production Locations and Work Areas would be entered as Facilities. The Places 204 owns the Production Location and the Production Location owns the Work Area.
If accessing the Places 204, the name is “Places Name 236.” If accessing the Production Location, the name is “Places Name: Production Location.” If accessing the Work Area, the name is “Production Location: Work Area.”
The Facilities under Places 204 are:

    
    
        Places Name: Production Location A
        Production Location A: Work Area 1
        Production Location A: Work Area 2
        Places Name: Production Location B
        Production Location B: Work Area 1
        Production Location B: Work Area 2
    
    


The Facilities under each Production Location are:

    
    
        Production Location A: Work Area 1
        Production Location A: Work Area 2
    
    


The Distribution (external) could be another Places 204 or a subsidiary of the current Places 204. The Distribution (internal) would be Places 204 to Places 204 with the same ID 101. When the user asks for the Places 204 sources of distribution, the user would get the external and internal Distribution Places 204 ID 101. When the user asks for the “Production Location B: work area 2” sources of distribution, the user would only get the internal Distribution Places 204 ID 101. All other Production Locations and Work Areas would not return information about the distribution.
Regarding new Places 204 configuration, companies would be entered:
1. Entertainment Places 204—Places 204 involved in the production of the Projects 216. Example, the record label, production company.
2. Manufacturer Place 208—Places 204 that are involved with making the Things 218 that are used on the Projects 216.
3. Services—Places 204 that provided support services for the Projects 216: catering company, wardrobe, location scout, distribution company.
4. Facilities—The physical location where that Projects 216 was produced. This would include studios, theaters, shooting location, concert locations.
A Location would be an Association 176 to either an Entertainment Places 204 (sound studios, back lots, or location where a scene was shot, Manufacturer Place 208 (factory), or Service (distribution Places 204).
All Facilities must have a Parent Places 210. To properly create a Facility, the user needs the following:
1. Create a Places 204 record for the Places 204 that owns the Facility
2. Create a Facility record
3. Create a Places 204 to Places 204 Association 176 with the value of owner. (The Places 204 is the Parent Place 210 and the Facility is the Child Place 212).
If the facilities POC is not the Parent Place 210 then the Facility record will have a POC.
1. The World Address 148 is the Facility where it is located.
2. The Places Name 236 is what it is called.
3. The Type is what it is.
Facilities would only have Telephone 150 numbers if the Facility has a unique POC. The Places 204 could have a World Address 148 and Telephone 150 number—one for POC and one for Additional Contacts. If these Additional Contacts are Locations that belong to the Places 204, they would be entered as Facilities with a Places 204 to Places 204 Association 176.
Reference to the distribution of the manufacturer's product or the production's product is handled using a Places 204 to Places 204 Association 176 to the Places 204 that does the distribution. If the same Places 204 handles the production and distribution, a Places 204 to Places 204 Association 176 with both Places 204 being the same would be used. If the user needs to track distribution activity separately from the production activity, then the distribution would be handled as a separate Places 204.
The same would be true for sales, advertising, marketing, and any other facet of the business that is required to get the product to market.
Regarding the rules for Places to Projects Associative Value (Contribution Value) 180, Facility's Contributions 180 are what the Facility was used for:
Example: post production, overdubbing, shooting location, production location, live theater.
Places 204 Contributions 180 are what the Places 204 does:

    
    
        Example: produced, own.
    
    


Regarding the rules for Locations, for definition of Location:
When searching for Location. By definition, the user is looking for the name of a Places 204 that is located in a particular geographical Location. This Places 204 is referred to as a Facility. The following are the rules for relating Location (World Address 148) records to Facility (Location) records.
Projects 216 can only have a POC World Address 148 that is a contact World Address 148 (Locations are denoted using the Association 176 to a Facility). If the Projects 216 POC is the Production Company, then the Projects 216 does not have a Location (World Address 148) record.
Facilities can have a Location World Address 148 and the POC would default to the Places 204 or Facility. Or the Facility can have a Location WORLD Address 148 and a POC that is a contact World Address 148. Or the POC can be the Location World Address 148.
Places 204 can have a contact World Address 148, and a location World Address 148. Either World Address 148 can be the POC.
People 202 can have a World Address 148 that is their POC plus additional contact World Addresses 148.
Things 218 can only have a POC World Address 148 that is a contact address if the POC is not the Manufacturer Place 208.
When making an Association 176 from a Location (World Address 148) record to a Facility (Location) or Places 204, the following field definitions apply. “Location Address” is a valid value that would go in the Location Type field to show that this is a World Address 148 that denotes the geographical location of a Places 204.
“Contact Address” is a valid value that would go in the Location Type field to show that this is a World Address 148 that can be used as a source of contact.
For example (a P.O. Box could be a Contact Address but not a Location address.) POC can be either a Contact Address or a Location address.
The Location Name field is where you would put the name of the contact. The Location Name Type would be where you would put the identifier of an individual.
For example, the Name field might be John Smith and the Name Type would be Sales Manager
This could then be displayed as:

    
    
        John Smith
        Sales Manger
        12345 Main Street
    
    


On Location Type “Location Address,” the user would not have a Location Name or Type, unless on a Places 204 record the user is using the Location Address as the POC. This also applies if the Facility is the Places 204.
If the POC is on a Location Address, the addressee is the Places Name 236. If the Location address is the POC and there is a value in the Location Name field, then the Location Name shows as “c/o”. If the POC is on a Contact Address, the addressee is the Location Name field and Location Name Type field.
To show the Locations involved with the production of a Projects 216, the user must associate the Projects 216 to a Facility (Location).
To create this Facility (Location), create the three needed records: Places 204, Facility, and Places 204 to Places 204 Association 176. To show that Facility is a “Shooting Location,” create an Association 176 Facility to a Projects 216 with the Contribution 180 “Shooting Location” (Facilities are not Shooting Locations until they are used as a Shooting Location).
Regarding the Shooting Location, a Facility (Location) is entered by the name of the Facility (Location) “6th & Main” and the Type would be “public street corner.” The Kind is “Facility.” The Location Record would have a World Address 148 without a Name or Type unless the POC was not the owner. This record would then have a Places 204 to Places 204 Association 176. The associated Places Name 236 is “City of Los Angeles,” the Places Type is “city municipal,” and the Kind is “service.” The way you know it is a Shooting Location is through its Contribution 180 to a Projects 216 as “Shooting Location”
Regarding the rules for Projects 216, for Series Evolution, the user has a base cast of Featured Individuals 926. The Series is entered by seasons with an Association 176 to the Projects Theme 242. The highest level of Association 176 is the Season Series. The base cast is entered with an Association 176 to the Season Series.
If a base cast Member changes, then the new Member is entered with an Association 176 to the Season Series with the character suffixed with “replacement” or “add” and the date. When cast or crew member has an Association 176 to an Episode, they are displayed in addition to the base cast. When displayed, the character will list the original and the replacement or addition. A cast or crew replacement is entered with an Association 176 to an Episode only if the replacement is temporary. The replacement Association 176 must be entered for each Episode in which they replace the original cast or crew member.
If the replacement is permanent, then the Member is entered with an Association 176 to the Season Series with a character designated as a replacement. When displayed, the character will show the original Member followed by the replacement. To designate a Member as a replacement for the cast, the character is suffixed with the word “replacement.” If the cast Member is an addition to the base crew, then the character is suffixed with “add” and the date. If the cast Member is a replacement to the base cast, then the character is suffixed with “replacement” and the date.
The crew works the same as the cast except the designations are on the Role 178 and not the character. This means on a Places 204 record, the Credits 551 in the Media Category 156 will show as follows: Elements 201 that have an Association 176 to multiple Season Series will display their Association 176 as being from and to Season Series.
For example, if Elements 201 are involved only with a particular Episode, then that Element 201 is entered with an Association 176 only to the Episode. When reporting the Element 201, it shows the Credit 551 as “series: episode” [TV Show: Episode 1]. If the Element 201 is involved with many Episodes then the Element 201 is entered with an Association 176 to the Series. When reporting the Element 201, it shows the Credit 551 as the “series (yeary)” [TV Show (1999)]. Because Series are tracked by Season, if an Element 201 has an Association 176 to more then one Season, then the Credit 551 shows as “series (from-to)” [TV Show (1996-1999)].
Regarding the rules for Things 218, Things 218 cannot be tracked as individual items, and can only be reported as a class representation of the Things 218. This means it is not able to identify who provided an individual Thing 218 used on a Projects 216 or who manufactured the individual item. This is because two Places 204 could have provided the same Type of Things 218.
For example, two Places 204 provided Red 66 Mustang convertibles for a chase scene in a movie. The users cannot say which Places 204 provided which car. When reporting from a Things 218 Point of View 850, the Press Kit Report 550 would show the Places 204 that create, distribute, and use this class of Things 218.
For example, if the user says that a Red 66 Mustang convertible was used on a Projects 216, a Red 66 Mustang convertible Press Kit Report 550 would describe the Things 218 that make it a Red 66 Mustang convertible. It would list all of the Places 204 that Manufacture, Distribute, Sell and Use Red 66 Mustang convertibles.
What we are tracking in the Things 218 relations is:

    
    
        A Projects 216 used a particular Type of Things 218 (This Projects 216 used Red 66 Mustang convertibles).
        A Places 204 Provides (sells, rents, distributes) these Type of Things 218. (These Places 204 rent Red 66 Mustang convertibles for use in the movie.) We could not say what Places 204 rented which Red 66 Mustang convertible.
        A Manufacturer Place 208 manufactures a particular Type of Things 218. (We could say these Places 204 manufacture Red 66 Mustang convertibles.) The user could not say what Places 204 manufactured either of the Red 66 Mustang convertibles used in the movie.
    
    


Regarding the Award Rules 331, Related to Award 220 Winning Elements 201, if a Projects 216 receives an Award 220, then all People 202 and Places 204 that worked on an Award 220 winning Projects 216 have a Related Award 570. The People 202 and Places 204 do not have to be on the same Association 176 record.
If a Places 204 worked on a Projects 216 and received an Award 220 for their effort on the Project 216, then this Award 220 is then included in the total Awards 220 earned for efforts on the Projects 216. The Association 176 record is Places 204 “Contribution” 180 Projects 216. This Association 176 is then assigned to the Award 220.
If a People 202 worked on a Projects 216 and received an Award 220 for their effort on the Project 216, then this Award 220 is then included in the total Awards 220 earned for efforts on the Project 216. The Association 176 record is People 202 “Role” 178 Projects 216. This Association is then assigned to the Award 220.
For a People 202 to get credit for an Award 220 to a Places 204, the People 202 would have to be part of the Places 204 Projects 216 Association 176. The Association 176 record would then read Places 204 “Contribution” 180 Project 216 “Role” 178 People 202. This would apply to individuals whose Role 178 on the Projects 216 was the cause of the Places 204 receiving the Award 220 for the Projects 216.
For a Places 204 to get credit for an Award 220 to a People 202, the Places 204 would have to be part of the People 202 Projects 216 Association 176. The Association 176 record would then read People 202 “Role” 178 Projects 216 “Contribution” 180 Places 204. This would apply to Places 204 whose Contribution 180 on the Projects 180 was the cause of the People 202 receiving the Award 220 for the Project 216.
For a Projects 216 to get credit for an Award 220 to a People 202 or Place 204, the People 202 or Place 204 would have had to receive the Award 220 for their Role 178 or Contribution 180 on the Projects 216. Things 218 can only have direct Awards 220.
Regarding the Rules for the User Rating 1140 of the Input Source 1120, as shown in FIG. 17f, the User Rating 1140 can be derived from a formula, including one of the following, a combination thereof, or any other qualification method established: Number of Credits 551 in the system, Number of years of tenure (experience).
Regarding the Rules for CCIV&V's 940, as shown in FIG. 19a, Credit Data 302 will be gathered according to three Levels of CCIV&V's 940 (based on the three auditing principles of today's accepted practices for good accounting). The three Levels, 1074, 1076, 1078, are Compilation 1074, Reviewed 1076, and Certified 1078. (Level #1) Compilation 1074, the lowest Level, has one check—that of the submitting author (any Credit Data 302 Compiled from another Input Source 1120 not being the Press Kit Owner 908). Level #2 Reviewed 1076, the next Level, has two checks—that of the submitting author plus that of the individual who is the subject of the Press Kit Report 550 (Credit Data Gathered 1080 from the Press Kit Owner 908 or owner's representative, or Credit Data Gathered 1080 from other sources that has been Reviewed and Validated by said Press Kit Owner 1082). Level #3 Certified 1078, the highest Level, has three checks—that of the submitting author, that of the individual who is the subject of the Press Kit Report 550, and lastly third party Verification and Certification (Credit Data 302 reported as Gathered 1080, Reviewed and Validated by the Press Kit Owner 1082, and Verified and Certified by a Third Party 1084, the Method will report said ConjunctiveProject Sentence of Credit Construct 551 as System Certified 922).
Regarding the Rules for Media Category 156, as shown in FIG. 3a, the “Other” 968 Media Category 156 will be comprised of items not found in the other seven Media Categories 156. The Media Category 156 “the Web” 966 will be comprised of Internet 714 related People 202 (e.g., John Skootsky), Places 204 (e.g., DSW), Projects 216 (e.g., Showlinks), and Things 218 (e.g., DSL).
Regarding the Rules for changing the ConjunctiveProject Sentence of Credit Construct 554, 580, 600, 612, a Minor Change is defined as a departure from the standard way of displaying information in a ConjunctiveProject Sentence of Credit Construct 551. A Press Kit Report's 550 Mission allows Minor Changes to be made in the way information is displayed in the ConjunctiveProject Sentence of Credit Construct 551, without changing the Press Kit Report's 550 POV 850. Major Changes can be made to the function of the ConjunctiveProject Sentence of Credit Construct 551 according to the Relational Database 100 Industry Mission. Layout changes do not change the definitions within the Industry Relational Database 100. Different Press Kit Templates can be provided with different ConjunctiveProject Sentence of Credit Construct 551 layouts (Minor Variations) that the Press Kit Owner 908 can choose from. For example, one template might be for Projects 216 within Projects 216.
Regarding the Rules for the Table of Credit Links 1042, as shown in FIG. 23, Transactional Content 1038 is defined as relevant data where some type of exchange can occur. Access-to-Programming Content 1040 is defined as relevant audio, visual, and/or multimedia content. Informational Content 1036 is defined as additional relevant information. Minor Changes to the Conjunctive Project Sentence of Credit Construct 551 do not require a need to change the Table of Credit Links 1042 Definitions. Major Changes to the Conjunctive Project Sentence of Credit Construct 551 may require a change in Table of Credit Links 1042 Definitions.
The Human Resource Networking System of the present invention can be used in the Crime system—so called “Crime Links”, wherein the People 202 are Criminals, the Places 204 are Crime Scenes, the Projects 216 are Crimes, and the Things 218 include Tools & Weapons.
Although the data to be collected and reported is different, the System itself is still the same. The following chart indicates a plurality of applications of the System of the present invention, including Showlinks 970, First Looks, Peopleads 980, Crime Links, Study Links, and Health Links, and their potential users.

First Looks: is an application that uses the system for the entertainment industry. Other applications may be developed for differing industries.






Study Links, Crime Links, Medical Links, and Applications for any other industries (Projects 216 are composed of People 202, Places 204, and Things 218) would have different reporting requirements and different information, adjunctly for a different intended user base. Instead of reporting information about entertainment Projects 216 it might report information about crimes, events, etc. The System would still create Associations 176, and overlaps between those four main Elements 201.
The same advantages and disadvantages of the System still apply for each other application:
(1) The information related to an Element 201 can be updated by the input from another Element 201 (e.g. one Element 201 can input data for another Element 201).
(2) The application can perform inference of missing data based on the data available.
(3) Because the information is collected in combinations, it allows searching and reporting in combinations (e.g. give me the left-handed guitar player who has worked at Soundcastle).
(4) Collecting the information from the Projects 216 (or other main information repositories) may be the most cost-effective means of verification.
(5) Information of questionable integrity that slips through the Verification can cause costly problems in fixing. Verification is required because inputted data affects reports belonging to different individuals. After-the-fact corrections may be impractical.
Each intended use, or application, uses business methods that are similar in nature, however of course the actual details of each step and each report must be very different because the applications and the users are different.
The core system is that Projects 216 are composed of People 202, Places 204, and Things 218 in relation to a Point in Time 112. What can be modified is:
1. The definitions and groupings of valid Values (e.g., Role 178, Contributions 180, Group, Solo Artist, Facilities, etc.)
2. The attributes (e.g., Skills and Talents 140, Education 142, Media Category 156, Awards 222, Organizations 146)
As the System is used for different applications for different industries, we would evaluate the information and relationships needed. For example, Crime Links could track the city jails in relationship to the federal jails. Organizations 146 could be CIA, FBI, etc. All of this will be done upon further detail work.
Bits 102 are People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218, further defined by their attributes, and joined by Valid Associative Values 116 of Roles 178, Contributions 180, Utilizations 182, in relation to a given Point In Time 112. The System is the back bone of the Showtown 984 Community structure.
The present invention satisfies an industry need for a single source locating and identifying talent tool. Industry professionals will be surprised by this invention's novel approach in solving this long-standing need. By being an interactive method for locating particular types of workforce talents existing for hire in developing industry Projects 216 in entertainment and other human resource industries, the application is applicable for expanding needs existing in the unique Project workforce style of the entertainment industry.
Additionally, the automatically generated industry career reports with their Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 551 should also be an industry surprise once discovered. The multimedia report combines the function of a resume with the purpose of a press kit. Additionally, the Press Kit Report 550 generates a novel Conjunctive Project Sentence of Credit Construct 551 that is automatically uplifted with the input of another's professional Data Input 300 of relational Credits 551, another industry first for which we expect to find industry acceptance.
However, the most interesting utility the present invention offers is making available for the entire industry of entertainment the secure mode of private transmissions for negotiations, which is just the tip of the iceberg of the advantages in using our Method's Internet 714 technological capabilities that our invention offers to the entire industry; competitive with the existing networking systems used in the industry.
In order to further illustrate how the present invention can be embodied to function as a web community's entire infrastructure, an example of a member (People 202) of a band is used to illustrate how one can be found by using the Credit Bytes 164 of the Human Resource Networking Locator System of the present invention, but in addition, how the People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218 infrastructure enables the System to locate other data via Informational (Credit) Links 1066, such as Press Releases 994 (Showire 976), E-storefront 996 merchandise (Showtrade 978), Research Polls 1000 (ShowChat 982), and the ability to demonstrate one's style of work or products from infomercials whose data is controlled by the People 202, Places 204, Projects 216 and Things 218 infrastructure's Mediawalk InfoConsole 1062 as accessed on the site's Mediawalk 974.
This example should also indicate how all System's Communities' People 202, Places 204, Projects 216 and Things 218 infrastructure is accessed from those site's POV and also demonstrate that the System of the present invention can substitute industry studies for industry Credits 551, and other Project 216 data, as a means to track a particular industry's People 202, as in Peopleads 980 First Break: a directory of recent industry graduates.
To collect the data, the members of a band input their Credits 551 by providing Credit Data 302, as shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b. The Credit Data 302 may be a resume, it may be published material, or it may be a data collection form specifically tailored to the present invention. Note that custom reports are possible, as not all Data 800 collected here is in conjunction (the People 202, Places 204, and Things 218 Pages). Different Press Kit Report 550 Modules may display information differently, according to present needs and data collection feasibility.
The members of the band input their Credits 551 to form the band credits which are input from the Credit Data 302 referencing the People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218, as shown in FIG. 10a. 
First the band members are associated to the band by a People 202 Association 176. This forms the structure of the band which will be used on the Credits 551 that they worked together.
For each Credit 551, one has to input a Credit 551 Association 176 using said People 202 Association 176, and any of the following (for each Credit 551):
(a) a Projects 216 Association 176 including the Projects 216 and any additional information that is known to complete the Projects 216 Association 176 (Places 204 to Projects 216 and/or Projects 216 to Projects 216);
(b) a Places 204 Association 176 featuring the Facility 204 where the work was done and any additional information that is known to complete the Places 204 Association 176 (Places 204 to Places 204); and
(c) a Things 218 Association 176 featuring a Things 218 that was used at the Places 204, and any additional information that is known to complete the Things 218 Association 176 (Things 218 to Things 218 and/or Places 204 to Things 218).
The Projects 216, Places 204 and Things 218 Associations 176 which when input will uplift the Credits 551 in the Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218 Press Kit Reports 554, 580, 600, 612.
Step 1: Input Credit Bits 102 and Credit Constructs 199
(i) The Relational Information 120 is entered into the People Information Table 104, the Places Information Table 106, the Projects Information Table 108, and the Things Information Table 110, as shown in FIG. 3a. 
(ii) ID 101 numbers are automatically assigned in the sequence of input for each Information Table 104, 106, 108, 110.
(iii) The Associative Values Table 117 is updated with Associative Values 116.
(iv) The Places ID “104” is a second entry for “103” which will be used as the parent in the Places 204 Association 176.
Elements 201
Places: ID 100 (Name=The Abominable, Kind=Group, Type=Band)
Places: ID 101 (Name=NJRIS Records, Kind=Entertainment Company, Type=Distribution)
Places: ID 102 (Name=Korg, Kind=Manufacturer)
Places: ID 103 (Name=The Abominable Home Studio, Kind=Facility)
Places: ID 104 (Name=The Abominable Home Studio, Kind=Entertainment Company)
People: ID 100 (First=Jeff, Last=Henderson)
People: ID 101 (First=Frank, Last=Wilowski)
People: ID 102 (First=Robert, Last=Wiles)
Projects: ID 100 (Name=The Abominable, Type=Album, Genre=Rock & Roll, Category=Music)
Things: ID 100 (Name=Korg Triton, Model=LE, Type=Keyboard)
Associative Values 116
Places 204 to Projects 216 (Contribution 180)=Perform
Point in Time 112
Point in Time 112=Production
From the assignment of IDs 101 to the Elements 201, it has created Credit Constructs 199 for each Element 201 where the other Elements 201 and the Associative Values 116 in these Credit Constructs 199 contain Null Values.
Step 2: Input Construct to Construct Associations 862
Step 2A: Input People 202 Association 176
Using the ID's 101 created in Step 1; input the People 202 Association 176 using the Credit Construct to Construct Association Method 862. ID's 101 are created for the People 202 Association 176 so that they may be used in the Credit 551 Association 176, for delineation in this example we have started with ID 200 instead of ID 100, though starting with ID 100 would work equally as well.
Where Bold=Value Non Bold=Null Value
People Association: ID 200




People Association: ID 201




People Association: ID 202




These Associations 176 will not be used in the Credit 551 Association 176 because the Data 800 was not collected in relation to the Projects 216 (this report did not require it). Therefore it will create another People 202 Association 176 with only the group, which we will use in the Credit 551 Association 176.
People Association: ID 203




Step 2B: Input Places Association

    
    
        Bold=Value Non Bold=Null Value
    
    


Places Association: ID 200




Step 2C: Input Things Association

    
    
        Bold=Value Non Bold=Null Value
    
    


Things Association: ID 200




Step 3: Input a Credit 551 Association 176

Input the Places Association ID, the Project ID, and the Things Association ID, with a Point in Time 112. Also note the Associative Values 116 within Credit 551 Association 176.




The ID “203” is for the People 202 Association 176, the other ID 100 is for the Projects 216 Association 176, and the ID 200 is for the Things 218 Association 176. Normally one would find the Places 204 Association 176 (containing the Facility) being used; however, this portion was not collected in relation to the Project 216 (in conjunction) so we did not use it here.
As shown in FIG. 9b, to convert the data into the Credit Bytes 164, the Data 800 is collected as Credit Data 302. The Credit Bits 102 (Elements 201, Associative Values 116, and Point In Time 112) are extracted from this Credit Data 302, and input into the Relational Database 100. When it comes time to produce a report, the procedure is followed for extracting the Data 800 (see Report Query Matrix Rules 548) which comes out as the Credit Bytes 164.
The full life cycle of the Data 800 is:
1. Credit Data 302 (collect)
2. Credit Bits 102 (input)
Request what you're asking for and how you want to see it:
3. Credit Constructs 199/Credit Instances 200 (virtual done by the programming)
4. Credit Bytes 164 (output done by the programming)
5. Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 551 (report done by the programming)
Regarding how the Projects 216 requester (inquiry) works, an inquiry may locate a band member or the band by their Associations 176 of People 202, Projects 216, Places 204, and/or Things 218 using the Find People Query Screen 504. There are also Query Screens 504 for Find Places, Find Projects, and Find Things.
The Press Kit Report 550 may also be located by navigation through the associative hyperlink in the Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 551 on those associated Places, Projects, and/or Things Press Kits 552, 578, 590, 610. For example, the Facility that the band worked at has a Press Kit Report 550. There is a link on the band's Press Kit Report 550 to the Facility, and a link from the Facility to the Band. This helps network the band as they have more hyperlinks with other Press Kit Reports 550.
Regarding Press Kit Links, for Supporting Community Features, the Press Kit Reports 550 may also link to add-on services provided by the other community web sites:

    
    
        The SHOWiRE 976 Press Release 994 features the Press Releases 994 controlled by the Press Kit Owner 908.
        The Showchat 982 Research Poll 1000 features a research poll conducted by the Press Kit Owner 908
        The Showtrade 978 E-storefront 996 features items related to the Press Kit Report 550 being sold by the Press Kit Owner 908
        The Mediawalk InfoConsole 1062 plays all multimedia, including separately produced Infomercials for new entertainment releases related to the Press Kit Report 550.
    
    


For Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 551 hyperlinks, Press Kit Reports 550 through ConjunctiveProject Sentences of Credit Construct 551 are linked there between:
How the system makes Credits 551 for People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218
To enable the System making Credits 551 for the People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218, as the band has input their Credits 551, they have input a People 202 Association 176, and at least one of the following:

    
    
        a Places 204 Association 176
        a Projects 216 Association 176
        a Things 218 Association 176
    
    


These Associations 176 are then tied together by the Credit 551 Association 176. The band's Press Kit Report 550 displays the information from those Associations 176. Additionally, the Places, Projects, and Things Press Kits 552, 578, 590, 610 (when active) will also display the new information, from their own respective Point of View POV 850.
Therefore the System is not actually creating Credits 551, but is displaying the inputted Credits 551 in the other reports that are Associated 176 according to their own POV 850 format.
To enable the System making credits from Data 800 not inputted by a band member, by the same Method that the band that inputs their credits may uplift the Credits 551 of another, some other Elements 201 may uplift the band's Credits 551. For example, Credits 551 input by the Facility where the band worked will uplift the band members' Press Kit Reports 550. Also note that the band may not be able to provide all the information to complete a Conjunctive Project Sentence of Credit Construct 551. Any missing information may potentially be completed by the other Elements 201.
According to the preferred embodiment, it does not require the use of an Automated Data Collection and Entry system. Without such a system, however, one would have to input each step individually (i.e., Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, etc). With an automated system, one would only have to input the information from Step 1, and the necessary transactions for Steps 2 and 3 would be completed automatically (i.e., one only has to input the Credit Bits 102 and doesn't have to input the Credit Constructs 199 because they are created automatically according to the structure of the Data Collection and input Form). A data input for dummies requires no knowledge of what the Data Input 300 needs to be to obtain the desired output.
Additionally, the use of an Automated Data Collection and Entry system would contain a built-in method for Validating all Associations 176, which may include displaying expanded information for each Element 201 of an Association 176 for proper identification. In addition, an automatic E-mail notification feature would notify the authorities (see Rings of Authority 390, 400, 402, 404, 406) which will help Validate and Verify the Associative Information 121 in an information system.
Whether or not an Automated Data Collection and Entry system is used, a Credit Certification Service may be used which will perform the Validate Associations 418 process. The Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 554, 580, 600, 612 will be reported according to one of the three CCIV&V Levels 1074, 1076, 1078 of audited reports.
According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 24c, the Element 201 Searches allow users to locate industry resources by People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218. A Robocruiter Search Agent 1102 is a Search Agent designed to be tied to these Element Searches. Robocruiter 1102 links, as well as a Robocruiter 1102 icon, have been placed into the simple search designs demonstrated in our uplifted drawings.
