A data network system for communicating data between a plurality of data generating systems externally connected to the data network system and a plurality of application systems externally connected to the data network system The data network system provides source objects corresponding to the data generating systems and destination objects corresponding to the application systems. The destination objects defining processes performed on data provided to corresponding application systems. The data generating systems generate data to be collected. The data network system creates container objects to contain the collected data, and identifies a destination object from the container objects to receive the container objects. The data network system also processes the container objects in accordance with the processes defined by the identified destination object, and transmits data corresponding to the processed container objects to the application system corresponding to the identified destination object.

Method and apparatus for implementing data network system having

A system for maintaining various information representative of activities of an enterprise having four components. The first component creates the information including project data, subproject data, task data, and employee data. The second component stores the project data, the subproject data, the task data, and the employee data. The third component creates non-hierarchical relationship keys among the project data, the subproject data, the task data, and the employee data stored by the storing means; and the fourth component updates the project data, the subproject data, the task data, and the employee data stored by the storing means and for updating the relationship keys among the project elements, the subproject elements, the task elements, and the employee elements.
