A system and method for enabling multiple processes to efficiently log events is described. A client executable module that needs to log an event may interface with a module or component referred to as a “client-side logging component”, passing various types of information regarding the event, such as an associated event level, one or more event associated event categories, an informational message, etc. The client-side logging component may maintain event logging criteria specifying which types of events should be logged. If the event should be logged, the client-side logging component may queue the event information and return execution control the client module. The event information may then be asynchronously retrieved from the event queue and sent to a server-side logging component. The server-side logging component may persistently log the event information in any of various ways, e.g., by storing it in a file, a database, etc. Processes running on multiple computers may call the server-side logging component to log events, via a client-side logging component instance associated with the process. A logging administration tool may be utilized in order to set event logging criteria. In response to being configured with new event logging criteria information, the server-side logging component may automatically propagate the logging criteria information to each of the client-side logging components. The client-side logging components may then being using the new logging criteria, dynamically changing the filtering of events that are sent to the server-side logging component.

The described embodiments of invention comprises a method and an apparatus for regulating access to objects by authorized entities. Authorized entities are entities authorized for access by either an owner entity of the regulated object or an entity authorized to authorize access to the regulated object. Each user, which may be a physical person or another information system, is identified using standard user validation techniques. When an object is first created or introduced to the system, that information is associated with an owner, who is one user on the system. The present embodiment allows the owner to define relationships with other users, either generally or regarding a particular object. The owner may or may not have trusted relationships with other users. A second user that has a trusted relationship with the owner automatically has access to the object without additional intervention by the owner. In addition, the second user may have a trusted relationship with another user. In the above example, the records administrator may have an assistant. This third user will also have access to the records. This Web of Trust may link users infinitely, but such a case would create an undue risk of compromise of the information. Thus, the present embodiment includes a facility for the owner to designate a maximum number of trusted links from the owner and other users.

An electronic record management system utilizes semi-structured documents that contain both authenticated partial texts created by an author and pointers to audio recordings that will be processed later by transcribers. The transcribed material is held in temporary storage until reviewed and approved by the author. When approved, the transcribed text may be combined with the original authenticated partial text to produce a final authenticated document. In addition, the record management system may further include a mechanism for assigning multiple context-dependent meanings to at least a portion of the information items included in a document. The record management system therefore allows a variety of encoding schemes to be automatically overlaid on each document. This creates opportunities to re-use the information for secondary purposes, such as preparing bills (such as Medicare bills) that must conform to arbitrary sets of rules.
