ABSTRACT:
A system and method for collecting, indexing, searching, accessing and downloading data over local and global computer networks. Data is reposed in a central database, indexed and interrelated by attributes characteristic of the data type. The data includes objects such as documents, queries, attribute lists and the like. The data is indexed and managed using a relational database management system (RDBMS). The central database and the RDBMS reside in a server that can be coupled to the global network through a network/user interface. Queries received by a user are converted to a format understood by the RDBMS. Objects can be returned as an image file for viewing, and can be purchased for downloading. Content to the database may be provided by individuals or proprietors of other databases, either on the network or through direct input to the server. Content to the database can also be self-generated by the RDBMS.
