ABSTRACT:
An authoring method and apparatus for creating an application for a decision management system such as a document assembly system. The method includes creating sets of question procedures, answer procedures and advice procedures for a particular application. When later executed, the procedures generate, respectively, questions, answer choices, and advice for a user of the application. Also created are procedures that may be referenced in on or more of the question, answer, or advice procedures for generating content based on an analysis of one or more answers previously provided by a user in response to a question. The content provided by these referenced procedures becomes part of the question, answer, or advice provided by the respective procedure making the reference. In this way the content of the questions, answers, and advice changes depending upon previous answers given by a user to previous questions. And because the question, answer, and advice procedures reference procedures rather than variables, the content provided by the referenced procedure is not limited to being merely a copy of an answer to a previous question.
