ABSTRACT:
An indexing system and linking method for an assembly of electronic-based informational items stored in and ordered by a plurality of records uniquely identified over a plurality of relational data tables making up a data set wherein each table is assigned a unique domain of unique alphanumeric indicia for assignment and storage in the records. The records are ordered by the alphanumeric indicia whereby each data table acts as its own primary key. The records are bi-directionally linked to each other via a plurality of separate, central linking table indexes wherein each index record is structured with a plurality of linking fields defined to store sets of two or more alphanumeric indicia belonging to a plurality of records in the data set. Each record is further structured to include an internal set of unique indicum for each data field whereby the combination of the unique record indicum and the unique field indicum uniquely identify each record-field over the plurality of relational data tables making up the data set such that each record field may be linked to a plurality of other record-fields or records via the plurality of separate, central linking table indexes. Each central linking table indexes is further generalized to provide multiple arrays of linking indicia in a plurality of indexing fields such that a plurality of the records from a plurality of the data tables may be linked together as a data cluster. The linking values stored in the central linking table indexes may be predefined to automatically structure and link a plurality of unspecified data and changes in the data may alter the linking structure to provide further capabilities.
