System and method for organizing, retrieving and displaying information using HTML indices

A computer system for data storage comprising:

• non-transitory memory formatted and indexed according to a disk file system using a hierarchical directory structure;
• a data repository comprising a plurality of data objects stored on said non-transitory disk memory and organized within the hierarchical directory structure;
• a plurality of index files stored on said non-transitory memory, which contribute to the cross-referencing of each said data object to a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) link to a position of said data object within said hierarchical directory structure, said plurality of index files including three defined index file types consisting of ‘task control’ files;
• detail files, and main files, and each said index file possibly contributing to the linking between at least two of said data objects;
• computer instructions stored on said non-transitory memory for generating HTML links to and between said data objects, thereby allowing data objects themselves to be both the source of one or more possible navigation requests and also contain one or more destination HTML links for navigation requests from other data objects;
• and
• computer instructions stored on said non-transitory memory that control the creation and destination of said data objects in a manner that includes the ability to navigate to and access said data objects by said HTML links.
