The disclosed system manages information that is received from one or more
users over a communication network. A user provides information to the
network using a network node, such as a data acquisition device that is a
wireless, mobile communication device. The system monitors the user's
location within a communication environment and sends an alarm to a user
when the user is near a location that satisfies user-specified criteria.
The system stores the user-provided information at a central database
that is linked to the communication network. When an authorized user
revises the information, any other authorized user can access the revised
information by accessing the central database through a node of the
communication network.
