App. No. 12/033,737

Abstract

Claims (49)

1 . A method of specifying lifeotype information, comprising: providing a standard syntax for specifying an item of lifeotype information, wherein the syntax includes at least one markup language tag, the tag specifying a type of information included in the lifeotype information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tag specifies a type of life byte.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tag specifies a type of life bit.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the syntax is used as a document type definition for a markup language format for a lifeotype.

5 - 6 . (canceled)

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the syntax enables the creation of lifeotypes.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the syntax enables the processing of lifeotypes.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the syntax enables the manipulation of lifeotypes.

10 - 13 . (canceled)

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one tag functions as a connector.

15 - 16 . (canceled)

17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one tag links to other relevant data used in a particular derivation.

18 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one tag links to measured values that are relevant to the lifeotype information.

19 - 22 . (canceled)

23 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tag documents at least one pattern relevant to the lifeotype information.

24 - 27 . (canceled)

28 . A method, comprising:

providing an item of lifeotype information;

associating at least one tag with the item of lifeotype information; and

documenting the lifeotype information, association and the at least one tag in a standard syntax.

29 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the tag relates to a type of life byte.

30 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the tag relates to a type of life bit.

31 . (canceled)

32 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the syntax enables the identification of lifeotypes.

33 - 39 . (canceled)

40 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the at least one tag functions as a connector.

41 - 42 . (canceled)

43 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the at least one tag links to other relevant data used in a particular derivation.

44 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the at least one tag links to measured values that are relevant to the lifeotype information.

45 - 48 . (canceled)

49 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the tag documents at least one pattern relevant to the lifeotype information.

50 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the tag documents at least one sequence relevant to the lifeotype information.

51 - 53 . (canceled)

54 . A method, comprising:

providing an item of lifeotype information;

defining standard fields to be populated in connection with the item of lifeotype information;

populating the standard fields; and

aggregating the standard fields and lifeotype information across at least two items of lifeotype information.

55 . The method of claim 54 , wherein a standard field relates to a type of life byte.

56 . The method of claim 54 , wherein a standard field relates to a type of life bit.

57 . (canceled)

58 . The method of claim 54 , wherein the fields enable the identification of lifeotypes.

59 - 63 . (canceled)

64 . The method of claim 54 , wherein the fields enable interfacing with other systems.

65 . (canceled)

66 . The method of claim 54 , wherein the fields function as a connector.

67 - 74 . (canceled)

75 . The method of claim 54 , wherein at least one field documents at least one pattern relevant to the lifeotype information.

76 - 79 . (canceled)
