Abstract
A computer-implemented method for sharing access to a database of records relating to clinical trial investigators amongst a number of users is disclosed. Each record includes a number of data fields associated with a clinical trial investigator and has associated metadata indicating a record owner. The method comprises: a) receiving a database query from a first user; b) resolving the query using a first subset of the records in the database including only those records for which the associated metadata indicates that the record owner is the first user and those records for which the associated metadata indicates that the record owner is another user which has registered a sharing rule in respect of the first user, whereby the first user is granted permission to access its records; and c) generating a result set including only those records used to resolve the query that satisfy the query.
