1. A computer-implemented method for building a relational database containing canonical answer datasets, the method comprising:
providing a canonical answer table, wherein fields of the canonical answer table are populated with canonical answers derived from real world data, and wherein each answer in the canonical answer table is associated with a respective canonical question;
associating, by the processor, canonical answers in the canonical answer table with one or more protocols within a hierarchy of protocols and with one or more circles,
wherein the hierarchy of protocols includes:
a plurality of circle protocols including a first circle protocol and a second circle protocol, wherein the first circle protocol comprises a first set of canonical questions and wherein the second circle protocol comprises a second set of canonical questions, and
a first circle sub-protocol, wherein the circle sub-protocol is a child protocol of the first circle protocol in the hierarchy, wherein the first circle sub-protocol comprises a third set of canonical questions including at least a subset of the first set of canonical questions and optionally one or more additional canonical questions, and
wherein the circles include
a first circle associated with the first circle protocol and with a first group of one or more users, and
a second circle associated with the second circle protocol and with a second group of one or more users, wherein each of the circles is a construct configured to aggregate canonical answers in the canonical answer table that are responsive to a respective set of canonical questions of a respective protocol and derived from real world data received from one or more users in a respective group;
selectively providing, by the processor, a user associated with a given circle among the circles access to canonical answers in the canonical table according to the given circle that the user is associated with, a given protocol associated with the given circle and data sharing rules for one or more of the protocols in the hierarchy.
