ABSTRACT:
A method for gathering data may include receiving query information in a first format related to a query, identifying a format-independent portion of the query information and a format-dependent portion of the query information, and translating the format-dependent portion of the query data for rendition in a second format. A computer program product may include instructions to cause a processor to identify a first platform that a responder intends to use to respond to a first query in a data gathering tool, format the first query for rendition at the first platform, identify a second platform that the responder intends to use to respond to a second query in the data gathering tool, and format the second query for rendition at the second platform. The computer program product may be tangibly stored on machine readable media.
