Abstract
A method of receiving a network resource address and creating a copy of the network resource and storing the created copy in a database is provided. This creation and storage of a copy of the network resource is performed when there does not exist, in the database, information derived from the resource pointed to by the network address.
Claims29
A method comprising:
- receiving a locator of a network resource;
- determining if a database already contains stored information derived from the network resource at a previous point in time, effectively freezing the network resource to the previous point in time;
- and
- upon determination that the database does not contain stored information derived from the network resource at the previous point in time, storing information derived from the network resource pointed to by the locator of the network resource, the process of storing comprising:
- creating a copy of at least a portion of the network resource pointed to by the locator, and
- writing the copy to the database.

An apparatus comprising:
- a storage medium having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions designed to:
- receive a locator of a network resource,
- determine if a database already contains stored information derived from the network resource at a previous point in time, effectively freezing the network resource to the previous point in time, and
- upon determination that the database does not contain stored information derived from the network resource at the previous point in time, store information derived from the network resource pointed to by the locator of the network resource, the process of storing comprising:
- creating a copy of at least a portion of the network resource pointed to by the locator, and
- writing the copy to the database;
- and
- a processor coupled to the storage medium to execute the programming instructions.
