Excerpt
(1) page 5-6 - In one aspect of the invention, a virtual signing room is provided that provides real-time access to agreement documents. In one embodiment, the signing room is a private room that can only be accessed by specified individuals, such as the parties to the transaction. The system uses standard authentication technology, such as digital certificates or biometric devices, to verify a party's identity prior to transmission of the web page or other physical manifestation of the signing room. In one embodiment, the invention includes a signing role identifier for associating the identity of the party with one or more signing roles, a document management sys- tem for retrieving each of the necessary documents and providing access to the documents accordingly, and a deal management module for ensuring that the proper signing sequence is followed and that each of the necessary signatures is received.

Claims
Managing data with plural user environments
A computer-implemented method of managing data, comprising computer-executable acts of: generating a plurality of user environments in a web-based system; ordering two or more of the plurality of user environments according to different arrangements of the user environments; providing a plurality of applications for generating and processing data in the user environments, data of a user environment is dynamically associated with the user environment in metadata that corresponds to the data; creating an association of the data with a second user environment when the data is accessed from the second user environment; dynamically storing the association of the data and the second user environment in the metadata; storing in a storage component ordering information related to the ordering of the two or more of the plurality of user environments; and traversing the different arrangements of the user environments with one or more of the applications based on the ordering information to locate the data associated with the user environments.
