Systems and methods for collecting information distributed over a computer network are described. Problems addressed by the invention include the marking of content distributed over a network, the instant display of current information distributed over a network, and the retrieval of information at a browser without an intermediary step to save the information. The invention enables customized aggregation of content distributed over a network in real-time. The invention includes a recursive scripting language. Scripts in the recursive scripting language may be used to point dynamically to web objects whose URLs have changed. Embodiments include a feature extraction object used for identifying similar information objects. Feature Extraction may use ‘fuzzy logic’ to insure that targeted content is identified despite modifications in the source page.
A method of parsing a script encoded in a recursive scripting language, wherein the script is at least partially parsed in a first server coupled to a wide area network, the method comprising:
A string identifier for a segment of an electronic document, the electronic document encoded in at least one markup language, wherein the string identifier is stored on a first device coupled to a network and the electronic document is stored on a second device coupled to the network, the string identifier comprising:
A method of parsing a string identifier for a segment of an electronic document, the electronic document encoded in at least one markup language on at least a first device coupled to a network, the method comprising:
A method of searching a first electronic document resident on a computer network system, the first electronic document at least partially encoded in a markup language, the method comprising:
A method of retrieving web content for a user, the user accessing the Internet via a web client, the method comprising:
A computer network system for retrieving a plurality of web objects from a plurality of web-based source pages in a single composite web page, the plurality of web sources at least partially encoded in one or more markup languages, wherein each of the plurality of web objects corresponds to a distinct web object type from a plurality of web object types, the computer network system comprising:
