Method for storing records at easily accessible addresses
First Claim
1. A method for use with a processor device (PD) linked to a database (DB) and an interface, the DB storing at least a first segment of a first record at a first database address, the method for tagging at least the first segment of the first record for storage and subsequent access, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing the first record for inspection via the interface;
selecting the first record segment via the interface;
providing a data reference (DR) via the interface; and
storing the DR and the first database address in a general data type database for subsequent access.

Abstract
A method for identifying record segments that are to be stored for subsequent access and linking within other records, the method including earmarking a record segment with a data reference and thereafter storing an address corresponding to the earmarked segment along with the data reference so that when the data reference is recognized within another record, a link can be made between the data reference in the other record and the record segment stored at the address associated therewith.

35. A method for using a processor device (PD) to form links between data references (DRs) in a first record and records referenced by the DRs, the method comprising the steps of:
-
storing the DRs in at least first and second data type databases wherein at least the first of the databases is a general type database, each DR in the first data type database associated with a database address;
receiving the first record;
accessing the DRs in the first general data type database;
searching the first record for any of the DRs in the first data type database; and
when a first data type database DR is located, forming a link between the DR and the record corresponding to the database address associated with the DR.

40. A method for using a processor device (PD) to form links between data references (DRs) in a first record and records referenced by the DRs, the DRs stored in a plurality of general data type databases, each DR associated with a database record address and each of the general data type databases associated with a sub-set of information, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving the first record;
gleaning information from the first record;
identifying each general data type database that includes an information subset that is common with the gleaned information;
accessing the DRs in each identified general data type database;
comparing the accessed DRs to the content of the first record; and
when any DR is located in the first record, rendering the record associated with the DR accessible. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44)
