One or more servers having a processor and memory and hosting a website and having a platform device placed on a web-site the website and forming a network with code-identifiable users or participants for the gathering and processing, by the users or participants, of items of information each stored in storage spaces wherein said storage spaces are identifiable per predefined coding and are associated with a plurality of predefined different topics, wherein:
- the storage spaces are each formed by a dual unit DuU;
- each dual unit DuU comprises a first storage space associated with a predefined topic and provided with initial information formulated by an initial participant but not editable by any other individual useror participant and also a second storage space associated with the first storage space and editable by any one individual user or participant to receive additional items of information relevant to the initial information stored in the first storage space;
- an identifying device identifies all users or participants who contribute a respective said additional item of information to a prescribed said second storage space by a code identifier of said prescribed second storage space and for storing the code identifier in a user-participant register;
- a transmitting unit transmitting, upon insertion of the respective new said additional item of information into the second storage space by any one of the users or participants, an automated transmission (DuU-feed), said automated transmission containing the new said additional item of information, to at least some of the registered users or participants, other than the users or participants, stored in the user-participant register;
- each said additional item of information is formed by the plurality of users or participants by way of a qualitative evaluation of the items of information stored in the first storage space and a transmission (DuU-feed) each containing the new said additional item of information comprises the contents of a first storage space and also comprises the contents of the second storage space associated with the first storage space;
- the identification codes of the users or participants, in order to form predetermined sub-groups of users or participants, create the user-participant filters using identification codes, to transmit only specified transmissions (DuU-feeds) to users or participants of one or more predefined sub-groups;
- in the editable second storage space said additional items of information in the form of qualitative evaluations of the items of information stored in the first space calculated by means of at least one calculating device are readable by the users or participants and each storable in an associated memory, the at least one calculating device being configured to produce a general item of evaluation information based on imported qualitative evaluations;
- the at least one calculating device is configured to carry out a qualitative evaluation by inputting individually assignable marks (grades) of a scale of marks having a predefined number of marks on the scale, for each of the users or participants, wherein in the case of each input assigned said assignable marks are storable in an associated marks storage device;
- the at least one calculating device includes a first calculating device wherein said first calculating device calculates an average value of the marks cumulatively imported to the marks storage device, said marks awarded by multiple said users or participants, and stores the average mark value in the second storage space, an average mark value being calculated by adding up to form a sum all marks ranging from zero to a maxi mum number of marks of the scale of marks as allocated by users or participants in said awarding a respective evaluation, and dividing the sum by the number of users or participants that have awarded such an evaluation;
- a second calculating device is provided, wherein said second calculating device carries out a variance calculation of the marks cumulatively imported to the second storage space and stores the variance in the second storage space, the variance calculated by said variance calculation being defined as a mean mark differential relative to the average mark value calculated by the first calculating device;
- a copying device is provided wherein said copying device successively interprets as being useful items of information the qualitative evaluations stored in the second space on conclusion of settable time intervals and transfers the qualitative evaluations to the first storage space and overwrites the previous items of information in the first storage space;
- a timing device is provided wherein said timing device transmits reset signals in predefined constant periods of time to the first and second calculating devices, and also to the first copying device, in order to set respective values in the first and second calculating devices and the first copying device to zero on conclusion of a respective presettable time interval and to repeat respective assigned functions of the first and second calculating devices and the first copying device in an immediately following time-period of equal length.
