System for creating associative records

A system for automatically creating associative database records, comprising:

• a data processor for, in response to a selected first dataset, automatically,
• initiating a search to identify at least one second dataset linked to said first dataset,
• selecting particular records of a particular second dataset of said identified at least one second dataset and
• initiating creation of a plurality of records associating said selected particular records of said particular second dataset with said first dataset;
• and
• a storage processor for storing said plurality of created records in a repository.

A user interface system supporting creating associative database records, comprising:

• a display processor for initiating generation of data representing at least one display image enabling a user, in response to user command, to
• select a first dataset,
• initiate a search to identify at least one second dataset linked to said first dataset,
• select particular records of a particular second dataset of said identified at least one second dataset and
• initiate creation of a plurality of records associating said selected particular records of said particular second dataset with said first dataset;
• and
• a storage processor for storing said plurality of created records in a repository.

A system for creating associative database records, comprising:

• a selection processor for selecting an initial dataset in response to user command;
• a data processor for, in response to user command,
• initiating a search to identify a plurality of datasets linked to said first dataset,
• selecting first and second members of said plurality of linked datasets,
• selecting particular records of first and second members of said plurality of linked datasets and
• initiating creation of a plurality of records associating said first and second members of said plurality of linked datasets with said first dataset;
• and
• a storage processor for storing said plurality of created records in a repository.
