ABSTRACT:
In a communication arrangement, client terminals request information objects, e.g., hypertext markup language (HTML) documents, which are identified by their uniform resource locators (URLs) from a server system connected to the World Wide Web (WWW). For example, the information objects may represent different chapters of the same book and are thus logically connected. In accordance with the invention, when the logically connected information objects are updated, the updated versions of the information objects are stored in a temporary memory space. For those client terminals requesting the logically connected information objects by their URLs before the update, the server system consistently provides the original versions of the information objects at such URLs to the client terminals. However, for those client terminals requesting the logically connected information objects by their URLs after the update, the server system translates the given URLs to different URLs indicating the memory locations where the updated versions thereof are stored, thereby consistently providing the updated versions to the client terminals.
