ABSTRACT:
A remote information server contains at least one set of object data bases, with each set including a first object data base containing information content components and a separate second object data base containing context information pertaining to linkages between the information content components of the first object data base of the same set of object data bases. Information content object files respectively containing at least one information content component from the first object data base in the remote information server are delivered to respective local information servers when requested or directed and cached in the respective local information servers. The entire second object data base(s) of context information are delivered from the remote information server to, and maintained in, a plurality of broker/servers. A set of the local information servers is coupled to each broker/server. The broker/server responds to receipt of a request from a user terminal for delivery of a selected context information object file containing context information pertaining to the linkages of a selected category of information content components by delivering the selected context information object file to the user terminal from a second object data base maintained in the broker/server. The broker/server responds to receipt of a request from a user terminal for delivery of a selected information content object file containing at least one selected information content component by requesting a selected local information server to deliver to the user terminal the selected information content object file that is cached in the selected local information server.
