Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention is a consolidated package for diverse platforms to interoperate and transfer data. It allows otherwise incompatible systems to communicate with each other, exchange information, and otherwise interact. An embodiment of the present invention translates requests for information into a predetermined format that can be transmitted from a first platform to a second platform. One embodiment may transfer the information in an XML format over the Internet using HTTP or HTTPS. The receiving computer translates the XML stream into a properly formatted request and finds the requested information. The requested information is translated into an XML stream and transmitted over the Internet using HTTPS. The information is then translated into a format that the requesting computer can use. The system and method described herein can be used to exchange data between two computing systems.
