Apparatus, system, and method for communicating to a network through a virtual domain providing anonymity to a client communicating on the network
The present invention is an apparatus, system and method for communicating to a network through an ad hoc virtual domain.

System and process for managing content organized in a tag-delimited template using metadata
A system and process for managing content organized in a tag-delimited template using metadata are described. A stored template written in a tag-delimited language is retrieved. The retrieved template is converted into an object representation of a metadata entry form. A user interface exported by the object representation is initialized. A data entry form is built including individual data entry elements responsive to user selections on the user interface of the metadata form. Each data entry element includes a set of information attributes describing the data entry element. The data entry elements of the data entry form are defined as one or more classes within the retrieved template. The data entry form is rendered by enumerating each of the one or more classes of the stored template and generating each data entry element of the one or more enumerated classes as described by the set of information attributes.
