Abstract
Methods and Systems for finding a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that points to a most updated authoritative source of information contained in database systems, including crawling websites to determine likely publicly available records and processing the likely publicly available records to determine a unique list of URLs each of which point to information content of crawled web sites that are likely to be the most updated authoritative source of the information content.
Claims28
A method of finding a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that points to a most updated authoritative source of information contained in database systems, the method comprising:
- crawling websites to determine likely publicly available records;
- processing the likely publicly available records to determine a unique list of URLs each of which point to information content of crawled web sites that are likely to be the most updated authoritative source of the information content and
- wherein processing the likely publicly available records comprises applying an algorithm to information content of each crawled website to determine a likelihood of each crawled website as being the most authoritative source for providing specific information content.
A system for obtaining a URL representing an authoritative source of information comprising:
- a web crawler configured to search websites to compile a list content and location of records available for public viewing;
- and
- a processor configured to apply an algorithm to information content of each searched website to determine a likelihood of each searched website as being a most authoritative source for providing specific information content, the processor further configured to reduce the list of content and location into a unique list of URLs, each of which point to specific information content provided by the most likely authoritative source.
An information directory system accessible worldwide via the Internet, comprising:
- at least one website having a virtual container containing a list of virtualized URLs that are retrievable by an Internet entity, the virtualized URLs previously processed to identify a most likely authoritative source of content specific information stored in data base systems,
- a memory, accessible by the virtual container of the website, wherein the memory stores a virtualized replica of content specific information of at least one website of a register authoritative user, and
- a first module stored in the memory, the module configured to call an algorithm to determine a likelihood of whether a query to the commercial website, looking for specific information content, is likely to be one of a machine or crawler accessing the commercial website, or a human accessing the commercial website.
A method for virtualizing URLs identifying information sources in an Internet comprising:
- separating a URL into a combination of DNS and HTTP protocols;
- rearranging the DNS and HTTP protocols of the URL;
- and
- rewriting the URL as a unique identifier that allows seamless switching between the DNS and HTTP protocols.
