Claims16
An system for providing a channel between at least two organizations, wherein the organizations are linearly communicatively connected, comprising:
- an account for each of the at least two organizations;
- a set of defined attributes for each of the at least two organizations, wherein each of said at least two sets is correspondent to one of said accounts, wherein said set defines at least one input to the organization correspondent to the one of said accounts and at least one output of the organization correspondent to the one of said accounts;
- a communicative connection that provides for at least one of said organizations to control said account of that at least one organization, and that provides for a linear interacting of the at least one of said organizations with other of said at least two organizations, wherein the linear interacting comprises trading of said set correspondent to the at least one of said organizations within the system by the at least one of said organizations with other of said at least two organizations;
- and
- a disinterested third-party connection that provides for the creation of each of said accounts, that records activities occurring over said communicative connection, and that serves as a temporary organization if the system is without at least one of said at least two organizations necessary for at least one of the linear communications.
A computer implemented method of providing a linear channel of communication between at least two organizations, the method comprising:
- creating an account for each of at least two organizations;
- identifying and assigning a set of defined attributes for each of the at least two organizations;
- establishing a communicative connection allowing at least one of the organizations to manage and control the account of that at least one organization, and to linearly interact with others of the at least two organizations;
- serving as a temporary organization in an absence of at least one of said at least two organizations necessary for a trading of the sets;
- recording the trading of the sets of defined attributes over the communicative connection;
- and
- allowing for the trading of the sets of defined attributes between the organizations.
