Abstract
Abstract A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for demonstrating business capabilities in an e-commerce environment. Data connectivity is first provided between a plurality of sites on a network, which are located in distinct geographic locations. Demonstration data, which illustrates business capabilities of one of the sites, is then received from one of the sites. Thereafter, the demonstration data is organized in a demonstration format and transmitted over the network in the demonstration format to another of the sites.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A method for demonstrating business capabilities in an e-commerce environment comprising the steps of: (a) providing data connectivity between a plurality of sites on a network located in distinct geographic locations; (b) receiving demonstration data from one of the sites, the demonstration data illustrating business capabilities of one of the sites; (c) providing user-created reusable object containers, wherein said object containers are created by defining links among instantiated objects; (d) organizing the demonstration data in a demonstration format using the user-created reusable object containers; and (e) transmitting the demonstration data over the network in the demonstration format to another of the sites.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
102 words
A method for demonstrating business capabilities in an e-commerce environment comprising the steps of: (a) providing data connectivity between a plurality of sites on a network located in distinct geographic locations; (b) receiving demonstration data from one of the sites, the demonstration data illustrating business capabilities of one of the sites; (c) providing user-created reusable object containers, wherein said object containers are created by defining links among instantiated objects; (d) organizing the demonstration data in a demonstration format using the user-created reusable object containers; and (e) transmitting the demonstration data over the network in the demonstration format to another of the sites.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the demonstration data includes a demonstration of product/service capabilities offered by one of the sites.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
139 words
A computer program containing code segments, which when executed on a computer demonstrate business capabilities in an e-commerce environment, the computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium, the computer program comprising: (a) a code segment that provides data connectivity between a plurality of sites on a network located in distinct geographic locations; (b) a code segment that receives demonstration data from one of the sites, the demonstration data illustrating business capabilities of one of the sites; (c) a code segment that provides user-created reusable object containers, wherein said object containers are created by defining links among instantiated objects; (d) a code segment that organizes the demonstration data in a demonstration format using the user-created reusable object containers; and (e) a code segment that transmits the demonstration data over the network in the demonstration format to another of the sites.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
139 words
