ABSTRACT:
A number of items of data from a data source (12) can be processed and then supplied to a data destination (16, 17). The data may include image data, text data, numeric data or other types of data, or a combination of these types of data. The processing of the data is controlled by a project definition (14, 71, 101), which includes a plurality of modules selected from a variety of available modules (Tables 1-4). The modules have input and output ports which are interrelated by binding information. The data source may be located in a remote system, and the data may be obtained from that data source in an automated manner through a computer network. Similarly, the data destination may be a remote system, and the processed data may be deposited in the data destination in an automated manner through a computer network.
