US Patent 10346444 Management of standardized organizational data

A computer-implemented method involves receiving, from a first user, first parameters that describe an organization-specific object for an organization corresponding to the user; mapping the organization-specific object to a standardized organizational object that represents a hypothetical version of one or more actual organizational objects by matching the first parameters to a template for the standardized object; receiving a request for information from a second user of the hosted computer service, the request including second parameters; using the second parameters to map the request to the standardized object; and providing, for review by the second user, information about the standardized object, using the first parameters and stored information about the standardized object.
