compliance with the organization’s policies. Turning to examples in
the specification, we note the following excerpts: Page 11, an
employee is provided the OSHA policy materials, which may include
a training manual, forms to verify the employee completed training,
and so forth. Page 14, the policy materials include policies for the
marketing department [presumably documents], and policies for
supervisors. On page 17, we note that policy materials are selected
from policy information stored in the database 122, such as training
manuals and so forth. From these examples in the specification,
which are consistent with common meaning, we find that “policy
materials for compliance certification” means documents stored on a
database specific to, supportive of, or resources for a person assuming
a role in the organization.

the key limitation, “policy materials for compliance certification”, on
paragraphs 56 and 58 of the Gullotta reference. Gullotta teaches a
system and method for provisioning users who have taken or changed
jobs in an organization with a set of “hard” resources (e.g. desks,
chairs) and “soft” resources (e.g. software programs, files, folders)
