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.
