Abstract
A disposition system in which a location and description of a physical asset can be tracked to allow for a future change in ownership, as well as an impartial valuation of the physical asset relative to a nexus of the possible new owners with the physical asset and/or the owner of the physical asset. The disposition system securely values physical assets based on inputted events.
Claims20
A method of receiving and classifying physical assets of an owner comprising:
- a computer receiving a catalogue of owned physical assets with associated metadata from the owner of the physical asset;
- the computer receiving allocation rules with classification criteria to be applied to the owned physical assets of the catalogue, wherein the allocation rules include at least an identification of individuals and/or entities to receive at least one of the owned physical assets;
- the computer applying allocation rules and classification criteria to the catalogue of physical assets received to generate a metadata tiered classification model of the physical assets;
- the computer determining a value of each of the physical assets of the catalogue;
- and
- the computer determining a recommendation for distribution of the physical assets to the identified individuals and entities other than the owner of the physical asset.
A method of determining a recommendation for allocation of a physical asset of an owner to identified individuals and entities other than the owner of the physical asset, based on an event which impacts a right to use the physical asset by the owner comprising:
- a computer receiving input regarding the event;
- the computer determining at least one physical asset affected by the event;
- the computer reevaluating a value associated with the physical asset relative to the event;
- and
- the computer determining a recommendation of distribution of the physical assets to the identified individuals and entities other than the owner of the physical asset.
A computer program product for receiving and classifying physical assets of an owner with a computer comprising at least one processor, one or more memories, one or more computer readable storage media, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by the computer to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, by the computer, a catalogue of owned physical assets with associated metadata from the owner of the physical asset;
- receiving, by the computer, allocation rules with classification criteria to be applied to the owned physical assets of the catalogue, wherein the allocation rules include at least an identification of individuals and/or entities to receive at least one of the owned physical assets;
- applying, by the computer, allocation rules and classification criteria to the catalogue of physical assets received to generate a metadata tiered classification model of the physical assets;
- determining, by the computer, a value of each of the physical assets of the catalogue;
- and
- determining, by the computer, a recommendation for distribution of the physical assets to the identified individuals and entities other than the owner of the physical asset.
