Background of the Present Invention

[0002] 1. Field of Invention

[0003] 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/fulfilling. In addition, occupational reports generate Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct per the System's CCIV&V Method, which in turn allows additional reports to be generated from said Project Sentence of Credit Construct that inform, promote, network and market a workforce's Talents, Skills, and Products per our System's CCIV&V Method.

[0004] 2. Description of Related Arts

[0005] In the 1980 's, government reports caught the applicant's attention with the announcement that entertainment professionals should expect a life expectancy second only to those mining for coal While actuaries may cite an industry life style, the present invention points to an industry work style as the major culprit for a professional's short life cycle. You're only as good as your last Gig, is an industry axiom that results from an industry project work style whose employment can last an hour, a month or a lifetime. It's a fortunate professional who has their next performance lined up ahead of time

[0006] No matter if one's performance is in front of or behind the camera, microphone, stage, screen, cage, whip and/or desk, the bulk of one's career is spent searching for industry work with the realization their next gig may depend on a past performance as judged in the marketplace. While staying employed on a regular basis is enhanced with a good manager, developing personal networking skills is a workforce real must. Full time employment in Project-related industries requires modes of continuous workforce readjustment, no matter the Project, industry or performance type. The challenge of being in the right place at the right time, while fulfilling a present workforce commitment and while not knowing where one's next gig is coming from, greatly contributes, I believe, to an industry workforce shortened life-span expectancy.

[0007] These workforce challenges are not unique to the entertainment industry, as they exist as unsolved professional and human resource problems for all project-driven industries. Interestingly, to date there is no one method or system available for identifying/locating/fulfilling a Project's workforce requirements with qualified industry credits. A system that also includes keeping verified industry skills and talents, but also keeps correct addresses and phone numbers, as well as one's records for contact. The various systems that do exist, exist at the exclusion of others. They offer reduced services, which are not both relational and dynamically assembled and do not offer one's latest industry efforts as Compiled, Reviewed and Certified as does the present invention's System's CCIV&V Method.

[0008] In reality, the conventional workforce system in the entertainment industry is not an open system but is a closed system. For example, www.thelink.com is an existing closed entertainment workforce system for union only members; it is not relational, does not track industry Places and Things used in developing industry Projects, and does not report audited industry credits as our System's CCIV&V Method reports. In addition, their credits are not automatically generated with relational qualities, as are the credits of this invention.

[0009] 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 changing markets.

[0010] Entertainment companies are re-locating to new facilities once thought too remote for such production, such as www.universalstudios.com. And it will be only a matter of time before these new facilities are staffed with a sophisticated workforce equipped with the latest gadgets for worldwide networking. The use of old-fashioned methods using printed publications and one's ability to professionally network determines how this mostly closed workforce is staffed today. However the reason for keeping the present closed system may disappear as world areas experiencing recession market their services, products and workforce against those world areas that presently prosper. This coming world marketplace will give rise to a network that allows those possessing such skills, talents and services to promote their worldwide presence as a cost-effective asset for those supply and demand buyers. Unfortunately, at this time no human resource system or workforce method exists.

[0011] Hundreds of resume may be submitted any job offer but how can one of their reported credits.

[0012] The conventional systems that monitor addresses, phones numbers, and points of contact for work, are orientated towards an old-fashioned manual way of networking by personal searches with the use of existing systems as in the case of printed directories. The LA 411 published by LA 411 publishing company, is a system that performs an incomplete fractionalized inadequate job, and a system that does not service all industries of entertainment, as does this invention.

[0013] While a few entertainment methods that accommodate new technologies are beginning to spring up as in the case of www.proaudio.com, they are only available for a particular media industry, and not all media categories as is this invention. And in some cases, as with Pro Audio, they may 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 of the entertainment industries as a human resource service as in Castnet, which only services actors. Also these services do not offer verification of industry credits, do not track Projects, are non-relational, and use paper style formats for their resumes, whose credits are not conjunctive, and are not validated as in the System's CCIV&V Method of the present invention, which reports Credit Constructs as either Compiled, Reviewed or Certified. Also some systems are for consumers more than they are for industry professionals, whereas the present invention is equally for Consumers, Professionals and Students of fine arts.

[0014] These systems are methods primarily designed for marketing entertainment products as in the case of www.imdb.com. While www.imdb.com provides information on films, they are not reported as a workforce Project system that is relational and dynamic which constantly and automatically uplifts industry credits live. And of the existing systems for other industries of entertainment; such as www.allmusic.com, which is focused with a design unlike the present invention as 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 rules used in the present invention for updating. Therefore the data is not updateable, and the system lacks CCIV&V's and an ability to learn. Additionally, information on their resumes cannot be saved to build a human resource database, U.S Pat. No. 5,416,694; this human resource system 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 being the elements are not updateable.

[0015] In summary, there does not exist today an entertainment human resource tool for a workforce specializing in Project-driven development, a method for locating, identifying, and fulfilling production workforce requirements as verified by the System's use of Credit Constructs that are Independently Identified, Verified and Validated in accordance with standard auditing principles and practices of good accounting methods. Until such tools are available, time-consuming personal research and networking will survive, as well as the use of promoting UNaudited industry credits as reference guidelines for project employment.

[0016] Therefore, a longstanding need still exists. And that need now becomes more acute in this new age of worldwide economies and information. The need for a talent locator that locates talent and skills via their Compiled, Reviewed and Certified Credit Constructs, still existsa Credit Construct that further networks a talent's news release, media reels, e-storefront, and provides a talent with the ability to research and poll viewers, and 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, which allows the talent to be in the right place at the right time to do the right thing.

[0093] 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 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.

[0094] The People Search Engine 518 queries the database and returns People Credit Bytes which are associations of People to Places, People to Projects, and People to Things extracted for a People Report that is a list of People that meet a Query Matrix criteria 514, 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 and Associative Values. The Credit Bytes 164 are output from the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162 and are used in the Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct. The process occurs in a Report Writer 502, as shown 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 and Search Returns 528 (as shown in FIG. 13) in response to queries.

[0095] 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 Systems' 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.

[0096] The Places Search Engine 520 queries the Database and returns Places Credit Bytes which are associations of Places to People, Places to Projects, and Places to Things extracted for a Places Report. The Projects Search Engine 522 queries the Database and returns Projects Credit Bytes which are associations of Projects to People, Projects to Places, and Projects to Things extracted for a Projects Report. The Things Search Engine 524 queries the Database and returns Things Credit Bytes which are associations of Things to People, Things to Places, and Things to Projects extracted for a Things Report, in which, associations are Elements which are joined by Associative Values to specify how two Elements relate to each other.

[0097] The People Query Module 506, which is a module that allows user Queries to find People, accepts user search criteria and passes the information to the People Search Engine 518. The Places Query Module 508, which is a module that allows user Queries to find Places, accepts user search criteria and passes the information to the Places Search Engine 520. The Projects Query Module 510, which is a module that allows user Queries to find Projects, accepts user search criteria and passes the information to the Projects Search Engine 522. The Things Query Module 512, which is a module that allows user Queries to find Things, accepts user search criteria and passes the information to the Things Search Engine 524.

[0098] Referring to FIG. 2a and FIG. 13, a People List Module 530, a Places List Module 532, a Projects List Module 522, and a Things List Module 524 generate the Search Return 528, as shown in FIG. 13, which is a formatted list of Elements along with the Relational Information 120 which is all information that does not relate to the associations of Elements. Relational Information 120 that helps describe a single Element. All Relational Information 120 is stored in the Relational Database 100.

[0099] The Elements displayed are only those that meet the Search Criteria. Elements in the Search Return 528 are hyperlinked if the Element contains an active Press Kit Report. The Search Returns 528 are generated by the People, Places, Projects and Things Search Engines 518, 520, 522, 524. An Element in the Search Return 528 may link to a Press Kit Report.

[0267] Does not allow for the display of the Members that performed with the Group on the Project 216. For this the user would need to input Member transaction

[0268] If the user performed with the Group (not as a Member), then the Group is the AOP and you had a role on the Project (backup singer)

[0269] 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 (Group) and the Associative Value would be what they did with the band on this Project. It would display in the People Press Kit 552 as another role on Project.

[0270] Regarding the rules for Places 204, for the Places template, the modules will list in the order of the sequence number that is assigned in the Kit Module Section.

[0271] Regarding the Short_co_header1 module Layout, for fixed selections, only Awards that were directly awarded to the Places. Media Category lists all categories separated by a comma. Places Type is Places Type from the Places header record.

[0272] 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.

[0273] In the parameters for short_co_header1 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 position. The parameter type is include.

[0274] 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.

[0275] Regarding the Short_co_featured_project module layout, for accepted parameters, if no parameters, the first 5 Projects produced or owned by the company will be displayed in Project date order.

[0276] TypeLoop controls how many Projects will show. The default is 5.

[0277] TypeOrder controls the order that the Projects will list. If no order parameter is entered the Projects default order is date

[0278] Regarding the column name field, for Project Name (proj_name), or Project Date (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.

[0279] TypeIncludes and Exclude controls what Projects will be displayed.

[0280] The program will accept in the Column name field. Places contribution (contrib.) will allow Projects for companies other then the owner or producer to show theses Projects as featured.

[0281] project name (proj_name), project Id (proj_id), or project date (proj_date yyyy)

[0282] The Value field will contain the Values for that field as in the data base. The list is separated by commas.

[0283] TypeSequence controls the absolute order that the Projects will list. If the list of sequence number is less then the Loop number the remaining Projects 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 that meet the Include or Exclude list.

[0284] Regarding the Short_co_buttonsv module layout, this module only adds the links to the Press Kit that will display the People, Projects, Things, and Awards that are associated to the Places.

[0285] 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.

[0286] Regarding the Rules for Places Credit Construct, if the credit is in category TV or Radio and Project Type Commercial, display the Places with role designed ad. If the credit is in category Music and there is a Performing Artist, display the Performing Artist. If the credit is in category Multimedia and Project Type Game, display the Places with the contribution designed game. If the credit is in category Video, display Producer. If the credit is in category TV and Project Type is not Commercial, display Producer. If the credit is in category Radio and Project Type is not Commercial, display Producer. If the credit is in category Film, display Producer.

[0287] Regarding the Places To Places Maintenance, the users need to establish what the reason for the affiliation is. The users can have Peer to Peer Associations which are controlled by the value entered. The users have reserved the following words:

[0288] *Distribution

[0289] Joint Venture

[0290] Collaboration

[0291] Service

[0292] Product

[0293] In establishing the Associations, we have the following rules:

[0294] Regarding Supplier/Vendor to Client/Customer, the most common Association would appear to be the following:

[0295] Supplier/Vendor to Client/Customer

[0296] If there are Supplier/Client Associations in both directions, then you would enter the association twiceonce in each direction.

[0297] The Associative Value in this Association would either be Service or Product.

[0298] 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.

[0299] Regarding the Performing Artists Collaboration, another scenario would be if two Performing Artists collaborate on a Project, we would establish the following Association:

[0300] Performing Artist to Performing Artist

[0301] The Associative Value would be Collaboration.

[0302] Regarding the Two Places Doing Business Together, if two Companies are doing business together under a Distribution arrangement, we would establish the following Association:

[0303] Places to Places

[0304] The Associative Value would be Distribution.

[0305] Regarding the Joint Venture, if two Places are doing a Joint Venture on a Project, we would establish the following Association:

[0306] Places to Places

[0307] The Associative Value for this association would be Joint Venture.

[0308] Regarding the Sample Places Structure, the Places would be entered as an Entertainment Company, Manufacturer, Service. The Production Locations and Work Areas would be entered as Facilities. The Places owns the Production Location and the Production location owns the Work Area.

[0309] If accessing the Places, the name is Places Name. If accessing the Production Location, the name is Places Name: Production Location. If accessing the Work Area, the name is Production Location: Work Area.

[0310] The Facilities under Places are:

[0311] Places Name: Production Location A

[0312] Production Location A: Work Area 1

[0313] Production Location A: Work Area 2

[0314] Places Name: Production Location B

[0315] Production Location B: Work Area 1

[0316] Production Location B: Work Area 2

[0317] The Facilities under each Production Location are:

[0318] Production Location A: Work Area 1

[0319] Production Location A: Work Area 2

[0320] The Distribution (external) could be another Places or a subsidiary of the current Places. The Distribution (internal) would be Places to Places with the ID's the same. When the user asks for the Places sources of distribution, the user would get the external and internal Distribution Places ID. When the user asks for the Production Location B: work area 2 sources of distribution, the user would only get the internal Distribution Places ID. All other Production Locations and Work Areas would not return information about the distribution.

[0321] Regarding New Places configuration, companies would be entered:

[0322] 1. Entertainment PlacesPlaces involved in the production of the Project. Example, the record label, production company

[0323] 2. Manufacturing PlacesPlaces that are involved with making the Things that are used on the Project

[0324] 3. ServicesPlaces that provided support services for the Project: catering company, wardrobe, location scout, distribution company

[0325] 4. FacilitiesThe physical location where that Project was produced. This would include studios, theaters, shooting location, concert locations

[0326] A Location would be Associated to either an Entertainment Places (sound studios, back lots, or location where a scene was shot, Manufacturing Places (factory), or Service (distribution Places).

[0327] All Facilities must have a Parent Places. To properly create a Facility, the user needs the following:

[0328] 1. Create a Places record for the Places that owns the Facility

[0329] 2. Create a Facility record

[0330] 3. Create a Places to Places Association with the Value of owner. (the Places is the Parent and the Facility is the Child)

[0331] If the facilities POC is not the Parent Places then the Facility record will have a POC.

[0332] 1. The Address is the Facility where it is located

[0333] 2. The Name is what it is called

[0334] 3. The Type is what it is

[0335] Facilities would only have telephone numbers if the Facility has a unique POC. The Places could have an address and telephone numberone for POC and one for Additional Contacts. If these Additional Contacts are Locations that belong to the Places, they would be entered as Facilities with a Places to Places Association.

[0336] Reference to the distribution of the manufacturer's product or the production's product is handled using a Places to Places Association to the Places that does the distribution. If the same Place handles the production and distribution, a Places to Places Association with both Places 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.

[0337] 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.

[0338] Regarding the rules for Contribution to Project Values, Facility's Contributions are what the Facility was used for:

[0339] Example: post production, overdubbing, shooting location, production location, live theater

[0340] Places contributions are what the Places does:

[0341] Example produced, own

[0342] Regarding the rules for Locations, for definition of Location:

[0343] When searching for Location. By definition, the user is looking for the name of a Place that is located in a particular geographical Location. This Place is referred to as a Facility. The following are the rules for relating Location (address) records to Facility (Location) records.

[0344] Projects 216 can only have a POC address that is a contact address (Locations are denoted using the Association to a Facility) If the Projects POC is the Production Company, then the Project does not have a Location (address) record.

[0345] Facilities can have a Location address and the POC would default to the Places or Facility. Or the Facility can have a Location address and a POC that is a contact address. Or the POC can be the Location address.

[0346] Places can have a contact address, and a location address. Either address can be the POC.

[0347] People can have an address that is their POC plus additional contact addresses.

[0348] Things can only have a POC address that is a contact address if the POC is not the Manufacturer.

[0349] When associating a Location (address) record to a Facility (Location) or Places, the following field definitions apply. Location Address is a valid Value that would go in the Location Type field to show that this is an address that denotes the geographical location of a Place.

[0350] Contact Address is a valid Value that would go in the Location Type field to show that this is an address that can be used as a source of contact.

[0351] 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.

[0352] 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.

[0353] For example, the Name field might be John Smith and the Name Type would be Sales Manager

[0354] This could then be displayed as:

[0355] John Smith

[0356] Sales Manger

[0357] 12345 Main Street

[0358] On Location Type Location Address the user would not have a Location Name or Type, unless on a Places record the user is using the Location address as the POC. This also applies if the Facility is the Places.

[0359] If the POC is on a Location address, the addressee is the Places Name. If the Location address is the POC and there is a Value in the Name field, then the 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.

[0360] To show the Locations involved with the production of a Project. The user must associate the Project to a Facility (Location).

[0361] When you want to create this Facility (Location), you create the three needed records: Places, Facility, and Places to Places Association. To show that Facility is a Shooting Location, you associate Facility to a Project with the Contribution Shooting Location (Facilities are not Shooting Locations until they are used as a Shooting Location).

[0362] Regarding the Shooting Location, a Facility (Location) is entered by the name of the Facility (Location) 6^th& main and the Type would be public street corner the Kind is Facility The Location Record would have an Address without a Name or Type unless the POC was not the owner. This record would then have a Places to Places Association. The associated Place's name is City of Los Angeles, the Places Type is city municipal the Kind is service. The way you know it is a Shooting Location is through its Contribution to a Project as Shooting Location

[0363] 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 to the Theme. The highest level of Association is the Season Series. The base cast is Associated to the Season Series.

[0364] If a base cast Member changes, then the new Member is Associated to the Season Series with the character suffixed with replacement or add and the date. When cast or crew member is Associated 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 Associated to an Episode only if the replacement is temporary. The replacement Association must be entered for each Episode in which they replace the original cast or crew member.

[0365] If the replacement is permanent, then the Member is Associated 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.

[0366] The crew works the same as the cast except the designations are on the Role and not the character. This means on a Places record, the credits in the Media Category will show as follows: Elements that are Associated to multiple Season Series will display their Association as being from and to Season Series.

[0367] For example, if Elements are involved only with a particular Episode, then that Element is Associated only to the Episode. When reporting the Element, it shows the credit as series: episode TV Show: Episode 1. If the Element is involved with many Episodes then the Element is Associated to the Series. When reporting the Element, it shows the credit as the series (year) TV Show (1999). Because Series are tracked by Season, if an Element is Associated to more then one Season, then the credit shows as series (from-to) TV Show (1996-1999).

[0368] 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. This means it is not able to identify who provided an individual Thing used on a Project or who manufactured the individual item. This is because two Places could have provided the same Type of Thing.

[0369] For example, two Places provided Red 66 Mustang convertibles for a chase scene in a movie. The users cannot say which Places provided which car. When reporting from a Things point of view, the report would show the Places that create, distribute, and use this class of Things.

[0370] For example, if the user says that a Red 66 Mustang convertible was used on a Project, a Red 66 Mustang convertible Press Kit would describe the Things that make it a Red 66 Mustang convertible. It would list all of the Places that Manufacture, Distribute, Sell and Use Red 66 Mustang convertibles.

[0371] What we are tracking in the Things relations is:

[0372] A Project used a particular Type of Thing (This Project used Red 66 Mustang convertibles).

[0373] A Place Provides (sells, rents, distributes) these Type of Things. (These Places rent Red 66 Mustang convertibles for use in the movie.) We could not say what Places rented which Red 66 Mustang convertible.

[0374] A Place Manufactures a particular Type of Thing. (We could say these Places Manufacture Red 66 Mustang convertibles.) The user could not say what Places Manufactured either of the Red 66 Mustang convertibles used in the movie.

[0375] Regarding the rules for Awards, Related to Award Winning Elements, if a Project receives an Award, then all People and Places worked on an Award-winning Project. The People and Places do not have to be on the same Relational record.

[0376] If a Place 204 worked on a Project and received an Award for their effort on the Project, then this Award is then included in the total Awards earned for efforts on the Project. The Relational record is Places Contribution Project. This relation is then assigned to the Award.

[0377] If a Person worked on a Project and received an Award for their effort on the Project, then this Award is then included in the total Awards earned for efforts on the Project. The Relational record is People Role Project. This relation is then assigned to the Award.

[0378] For a Person to get credit for an Award to a Place, the Person would have to be part of the Places Project relation. The Relational record would then read Company Contribution Project Role Person. This would apply to individuals whose Role on the Project was the cause of the Place receiving the Award for the Project.

[0379] For a Place to get credit for an Award to a Person, the Place would have to be part of the People Project relation. The Relational record would then read People Role Project Contribution Place. This would apply to Places whose Contribution on the Project was the cause of the Person receiving the Award for the Project.

[0380] For a Project to get credit for an Award to a Person or Place, the Person or Place would have had to receive the Award for their Role or Contribution on the Project. Things can only have direct Awards.

[0381] Regarding the Rules for the Numerical Qualifier 942, as shown in FIG. 17f, the Numerical Qualifier can be derived from a formula, including one of the following, a combination thereof, or any other qualification method established: Number of credits in the system, Number of years of tenure (experience).

[0382] Regarding the Rules for CCIV&V's 940, as shown in FIG. 19a, Credit Data will be Gathered according to three Levels of CCIV&V's (based on the three auditing principles of today's accepted practices for good accounting). The three Levels, 1074, 1076, 1078, are Certified, Reviewed, and Compilation. (Level 1) Compilation 1074, the lowest Level, has one checkthat of the submitting author (any Credit Data Compiled from other input sources not being the Press Kit Owner). Level 2 Reviewed 1076, the next Level, has two checksthat of the submitting author plus that of the individual who is the subject of the Press Kit (Credit Data Gathered from the Press Kit Owner or owner's representative, or Credit Data Gathered from other sources that has been Reviewed and Validated by said Press Kit Owner). Level 3 Certified 1078, the highest Level, has three checksthat of the submitting author, that of the individual who is the subject of the Press Kit, and lastly third party Verification and Certification (Credit Data reported as Gathered, Reviewed and Validated by the Press Kit Owner, and Verified and Certified by a third party, the Method will report said Project Sentence of Credit Construct as System Certified).

[0383] Regarding the Rules for Media Category 156, as shown in FIG. 3a, the Other Media Category will be comprised of items not found in the other Seven Media Categories. The Category the Web will be comprised of Internet related People (e.g., John Skootsky), Places (e.g., DSW), Projects (e.g., Showlinks), and Things (e.g., DSL).

[0384] Regarding the Rules for changing the Project 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 Project Sentence of Credit Construct. A Press Kit Report's Mission allows Minor Changes to be made in the way information is displayed in the Project Sentence of Credit Construct, without changing the Press Kit Report's POV. Major Changes can be made to the function of the Project Sentence of Credit Construct according to the Industry Database Mission. Layout changes do not change the definitions within the Industry Database. Different Press Kit Templates can be provided with different Project Sentence of Credit Construct layouts (Minor Variations) that the Press Kit Owner can choose from. For example, one template might be for Projects within Projects.

[0385] Regarding the Rules for the Table of Credit Links 1042, as shown in FIG. 23, Transactional Content is defined as relevant data where some type of exchange can occur. Access-to-Programming Content is defined as relevant audio, visual, and/or multimedia content. Informational Content is defined as additional relevant information. Minor Changes to the Project Sentence of Credit Construct do not require a need to change the Credit Link Definitions. Major Changes to the Project Sentence of Credit Construct may require a change in Credit Link Definitions.

[0386] The Human Resource Networking System of the present invention can be used in the Crime systemso called Crime Links, wherein the People 202 are Criminals, the Places 204 are Crime Scenes, the Projects are Crimes, and the Things include Tools & Weapons.

[0387] 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, First Looks, Peopleads, Crime Links, Study Links, and Health Links, and their potential users.



The System	Application Examples	Intended Users

Independent Bits**	Showlinks	Entertainment
of Information		Professionals, etc.
Structured in	First Looks	Casting Agents, Actors, etc.
Relations	Peopleads	Ent. Students,
		Employers, etc.
	Crime Links	Law Enforcement, etc.
	Study Links	Students, Schools, etc.
	Health Links	Medical Professionals,
		etc.

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

[0388] Study Links, Crime Links, Medical Links, and Applications for any other industries (Projects are composed of People, Places, and Things) would have different reporting requirements and different information, adjunctly for a different intended user base. Instead of reporting information about entertainment Projects it might report information about crimes, events, etc. The System would still create associations, and overlaps between those four main Elements.

[0389] The same advantages and disadvantages of the System still apply for each other application:

[0390] (1) The information related to an Element can be updated by the input from another Element (e.g. one Element can input data for another Element).

[0391] (2) The application can perform inference of missing data based on the data available.

[0392] (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).

[0393] (4) You have to collect the information from the Projects (or other main information repositories) in order for the verification to be cost-effective.

[0394] (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.

[0395] 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.

[0396] The core system is that Projects are composed of People, Places, and Things in relation to a Point in Time. What can be modified is:

[0397] 1. The definitions and groupings of valid Values (e.g., Role, Contributions, Group, Solo Artist, Facilities, etc.)

[0398] 2. The attributes (e.g., Skills, Education, Media Category, Awards, Organizations)

[0399] 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 could be CIA, FBI, etc. All of this we would be done upon further detail work.

[0400] Bits are People, Places, Projects, and Things, further defined by their attributes, and joined by Valid Associative Values of Roles, Contributions, Utilizations, in relation to a given Point In Time. The System is the back bone of the Showtown Community structure.

[0401] 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 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.

[0402] Additionally, the automatically generated industry career reports with their conjunctive sentences of industry credits 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 generates a novel conjunctive sentence of industry credit that is automatically uplifted with the input of another's professional input of relational credits, another industry first for which we expect to find industry acceptance.

[0403] 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 technological capabilities that our invention offers to the entire industry at competitive with the existing networking systems used in the industry.

[0404] 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 Informational Links, such as Press Releases (Showire), E-storefront merchandise (Showtrade), Research Polls (ShowChat), and the ability to demonstrate one's style of work or products from infomercials whose data is controlled by the People, Places, Projects and Things infrastructure's InfoConsole as accessed on the site's Mediawalk.

[0405] 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, and other project data, as a means to track a particular industry's People, as in Peopleads First Break: a directory of recent industry graduates.

[0406] To collect the data, the members of a band input their credits 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 collected here is in conjunction (the People, Places, and Things Pages). Different Press Kit Report Modules may display information differently, according to present needs and data collection feasibility.

[0407] The members of the band input their credits 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.

[0408] First the band members are associated to the band by a People Association. This forms the structure of the band which will be used on the credits that they worked together.

[0409] For each credit, one has to input a Credit Association using said People Association, and any of the following (for each credit):

[0410] (a) a Projects Association including the Project 216 and any additional information that is known to complete the Projects Association (Places to Projects and/or Projects to Projects);

[0411] (b) a Places Association featuring the Facility 204 where the work was done and any additional information that is known to complete the Places Association (Places to Places); and

[0412] (c) a Things Association featuring a Thing 218 that was used at the Place, and any additional information that is known to complete the Things Association (Things to Things and/or Places to Things).

[0413] The Projects, Places and Things associations which are input will uplift the credits in the Places, Projects, and Things Press Kit Reports 554, 580, 600, 612.

[0414] Step 1: Input Credit Bits and Credit Constructs

[0415] (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.

[0416] (ii) ID numbers are automatically assigned in the sequence of input for each Information Table 104, 106, 108, 110.

[0417] (iii) The Associative Values Table is updated with Associative Values.

[0418] (iv) The Places ID 104 is a second entry for 103 which will be used as the parent in the Places Association.

[0419] Elements

[0420] Places: ID 100 (NameThe Abominable, KindGroup, TypeBand)

[0421] Places: ID 101 (NameNJRIS Records, KindEntertainment Company, TypeDistribution)

[0422] Places: ID 102 (NameKorg, KindManufacturer)

[0423] Places: ID 103 (NameThe Abominable Home Studio, KindFacility)

[0424] Places: ID 104 (NameThe Abominable Home Studio, KindEntertainment Company)

[0425] Person: ID 100 (FirstJeff, LastHenderson)

[0426] Person: ID 101 (FirstFrank, LastWilowski)

[0427] Person: ID 102 (FirstRobert, LastWiles)

[0428] Project: ID 100 (NameThe Abominable, TypeAlbum, GenreRock & Roll, CategoryMusic)

[0429] Thing: ID 100 (NameKorg Triton, ModelLE, TypeKeyboard)

[0430] Associative Values

[0431] Places to Projects (Contribution)Perform

[0432] Point in Time

[0433] Point in TimeProduction

[0434] From the assignment of ID's to the Elements, it has created Credit Constructs 199 for each Element where the other Elements and the Associative Values in these Credit Constructs 199 contain Null Values.

[0435] Step 2: Input Construct to Construct Associations

[0436] Step 2A: Input People Association

[0437] Using the ID's created in Step 1; input the People Association using Credit Construct 199 to Construct Method. ID's are created for the People Association so that they may be used in the Credit Association, 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.

[0438] Where BoldValue Non BoldNull Value

[0439] People Association: ID 200

[0440] People Association: ID 201

[0441] People Association: ID 202

[0442] These associations will not be used in the Credit Association because the Data was not collected in relation to the Project 216 (this report did not require it). Therefore it will create another People Association with only the group, which we will use in the Credit Association.

[0443] People Association: ID 203

[0444] Step 2B: Input Places Association

[0445] BoldValue Non BoldNull Value

[0446] Places Association: ID 200

[0447] Step 2C: Input Things Association

[0448] BoldValue Non BoldNull Value

[0449] Things Association: ID 200

[0450] Step 3: Input a Credit Association

[0451] Input the Places Association ID, the Project ID, and the Things Association ID, with a Point in Time. Also note the Associative Values within Credit Association.

[0452] The ID 203 is for the People Association, the other ID I 00 is for the Project Association, and the ID 200 is for the Things Association. Normally one would find the Places Association (containing the Facility) being used; however, this portion was not collected in relation to the Project (in conjunction) so we did not use it here.

[0453] As shown in FIG. 9b, to convert the data into the Credit Bytes 164, the data is collected as Credit Data 302. The Credit Bits 102 (Elements, Associative Values, and Point In Time) are extracted from this Credit Data 102, and input into the Database 100.

[0454] When it comes time to produce a report, the procedure is followed for extracting the Data (see query matrix rules) which comes out as the Credit Bytes 164.

[0455] The full life cycle of the Data is:

[0456] 1. Credit Data 302 (collect)

[0457] 2. Credit Bits 102 (input)

[0458] Request what you're asking for and how you want to see it:

[0459] 3. Credit Constructs 199/Credit Instances 200 (virtual done by the programming)

[0460] 4. Credit Bytes 164 (output done by the programming)

[0461] 5. Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 600 (report done by the programming)

[0462] FIG. 5: Excerpt from New Patent Drawings FIG. 9b

[0463] Regarding how the Project requester (inquiry) works, an inquiry may locate a band member or the band by their Associations of People, Projects, Places, and/or Things using the Find People Query Screen 504. There are also Query Screens 504 for Find Places, Find Projects, and Find Things.

[0464] The Press Kit Report 550 may also be located by navigation through the associative hyperlink in the Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 600 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. There is a link on the band's Press Kit 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 Kits.

[0465] Regarding Press Kit Links, for Supporting Community Features, the Press Kit Reports may also link to add-on services provided by the other community web sites:

[0466] The SHOWiRE Press Release features the press releases controlled by the Press Kit Owner

[0467] The Showchat Research Poll features a research poll conducted by the Press Kit Owner

[0468] The Showtrade E-storefront features items related to the Press Kit being sold by the Press Kit Owner

[0469] The Mediawalk InfoConsole plays all multimedia, including separately produced Infomercials for new entertainment releases related to the Press Kit.

[0470] For Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct Hyperlinks, Press Kits through Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 600 are linked there between:

[0471] How the system makes credits for People, Places, Projects, and Things

[0472] To enable the system making credits for the People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218, as the band has input their credits, they have input a People Association, and at least one of the following:

[0473] a Places Association

[0474] a Projects Association

[0475] a Things Association

[0476] These Associations are then tied together by the Credit Association. The band's Press Kit displays the information from those Associations. 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.

[0477] Therefore the System is not actually creating credits, but is displaying the inputted credits in the other reports that are Associated according to their own POV format.

[0478] To enable the System making credits from Data not inputted by a band member, by the same Method that the band that inputs their credits may uplift the credits of another, some other Elements may uplift the band's credits. For example, credits input by the Facility where the band worked will uplift the band members' Press Kits. Also note that the band may not be able to provide all the information to complete a Conjunctive Project Sentence of Credit Construct 610. Any missing information may potentially be completed by the other Elements.

[0479] 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 input needs to be to obtain the desired output.

[0480] Additionally, the use of an Automated Data Collection and Entry system would contain a built-in method for Validating all Associations, which may include displaying expanded information for each Element of an Association for proper identification. In addition, an automatic E-mail notification feature would notify the authorities (see Rings of Authority) which will help Validate and Verify the Associative Information in an information system.

[0481] 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 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.

[0482] According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 24c, the Element Searches allow users to locate industry resources by People, Places, Projects, and Things. A Robocruiter 1102, which is a Search Agent, is designed to be tied to these Element Searches. Robocruiter links, as well as a Robocruiter icon, have been placed into the simple search designs demonstrated in our uplifted drawings. The Robocruiter can save a user's Element search criteria implemented while the user is logged off. It will also provide quick access to the saved search criteria while the user is logged on. As shown in FIG. 24c, the Pathway 1098 feature allows the user to select the order in which search criteria is used to perform a search. For example, a user can have Robocruiter search People criteria, then Projects criteria, then Things criteria, and then Places criteria. The Self-Adjustments 1100 feature allows the user to determine how the search returns will be displayed. For example, a user will have the ability to specify a minimum and maximum number of search returns that will appear. Users will receive search returns via email, or the next time they log in.
