Described herein is a transaction system (100) in which a transaction is authenticated using an external alias. When procuring an item from a supplier (120), a customer (110) needs to provide payment in some form or the other. Profiles relating to both the customer (110) and the supplier (120) are stored in an environment managed by a broker (130) and payment is effected by transfer of within that environment from a customer wallet to a supplier wallet. The customer (120) is represented as an alias as far as the supplier (120) is concerned, whereby the alias is provided by an external identity provider (140) such as a social network with which the customer (120) is associated. The anonymity of the customer (120) is maintained with respect to the supplier (120).

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for a system for allowing external validation of data in a process data network.

The invention pertains to a system for assessing the level of social responsibility of a business and for monitoring improvements using the assessed level as a baseline. The system includes a self-assessment testing method which establishes a score or “grade” indicative of the level of social responsibility of the business which can be used for comparative purposes internally or externally. In terms of a business entity, the invention provides for a self-assessment process to objectively determine the level of social responsibility of the company in a manner subject to outside verification. The process isolates components of social responsibility. The results permit precise decision making implementing change and reevaluation. The process results in a score or grade that is subject to verification or auditing by an outside agency in order that it will be a meaningful assessment outside of the confines of the company and in a broader community. It may be used for comparison to industry standards, universal standards, past performance, or the like. In broader terms, the invention provides a vehicle for a sponsoring agency or a collaboration of entities (“sponsor”) to provide the business community with a means of verifiable self-assessment of the level of social responsibility of businesses. This permits the sponsor to adopt standards for the purpose of comparison of one business to another, to an industry group, to other industries, or to past performance.

An XML processing model enables applications that use an XML stream to perform metadata-based or other processing of data during a data validation operation while preserving a streaming processing model. For example, while an XML node is being validated, requests can be received regarding the status of the validation and any processing that may be required with the node in order to conform it to requirements of an external application. A validator exposes public APIs that allow such validation-time requests from an event handler that is associated with an external application and that is registered with the XML stream. Messages that identify schema annotation definitions are provided to an external application to direct the type of processing to be performed on nodes at application runtime. Thus, applications can process a node according to the annotation definition concurrently with validation of the given node by the validator.
