ABSTRACT:
A number of items of data from a data source (12) can be processed, and then supplied to at least one data destination (16-17). The data can 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. A subset of the available modules are branch modules, which can change a flow of execution through the modules that make up the project definition. One type of module effects branching by changing the flow of execution based on the state of data being processed by the project definition, whereas another type of branch module changes the flow of execution based on real-time interaction with a person.
