Abstract
Systems and methods electronically uniquely imprint a digital watermark on produced resources, such as on data or electronic documents produced by an online software platform (OSP), in nearly invisible ways that are likely to survive subsequent processing. In one embodiment the OSP stores a plurality of resource digital rules used for producing resources for respective relationship instances of primary entities with other entities; receives a dataset on behalf of a primary entity, in which the dataset includes data representing a relationship instance between the primary entity and a secondary entity; in response to the received dataset, produces a resource based on applying one or more of the plurality of resource digital rules to the dataset; and digitally watermarks the produced resource with a digital watermark such that the produced resource is identifiable via the digital watermark as having been produced by the OSP.
