ABSTRACT:
A method, executed by a server, for providing answers on one or more topics from a set of experts on each topic to questions posed by users. Users can direct questions to one or more specific experts, who in turn can answer the questions, refer the questions to other experts, or both. The server automatically organizes and stores questions and answers in various fora. An administrator can take advantage of the design of the system to create or change a forum without having to write or change low-level code.
