Abstract

Administration of URIs in groups, including creating a group URI, receiving, from a user, a search term, providing the search term to a search engine, and receiving a search result including an embedded hyperlink to an indexed resource. Embodiments include identifying the embedded hyperlink within the search result, creating, in dependence upon the embedded hyperlink, a member URI, and storing the group URI and the member URI.

Claims

1. A method for administration of URIs in groups, the method comprising:

creating a group URI;

receiving, from a user, a search term;

providing the search term to a search engine;

receiving a search result including an embedded hyperlink to an indexed resource;

identifying the embedded hyperlink within the search result;

creating, in dependence upon the embedded hyperlink, a member URI; and

storing the group URI and the member URI.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein identifying the embedded hyperlink within the search result comprises finding a start tag of an anchor element and reading a target identifying a URI.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein storing the group URI and the member URI comprises:

finding the search term in the indexed resource; and

highlighting the search term.

4. The method of claim 1, comprising identifying a plurality of embedded hyperlinks within the search result;

and

creating, in dependence upon the plurality of embedded hyperlinks, a plurality of member URIs.

5. The method of claim 4 further comprising:

retrieving, in dependence upon the group URI, a plurality of member URIs;

retrieving a plurality of indexed resources identified by the plurality of member URIs; and

displaying the plurality of retrieved indexed resources.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein displaying the plurality of retrieved indexed resources comprises displaying each retrieved indexed resource for a display interval length.

7. The method of claim 1 comprising emailing the group URI.

8. A system for administration of URIs in groups, the system comprising:

means for creating a group URI;

means for receiving, from a user, a search term;

means for providing the search term to a search engine;

means for receiving a search result including an embedded hyperlink to an indexed resource;

means for identifying the embedded hyperlink within the search result;

means for creating, in dependence upon the embedded hyperlink, a member URI; and

means for storing the group URI and the member URI.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein means for identifying the embedded hyperlink within the search result comprises means for finding a start tag of an anchor element and means for reading a target identifying a URI.

10. The system of claim 8 wherein means for storing the group URI and the member URI comprises:

means for finding the search term in the indexed resource; and

means for highlighting the search term.

11. The system of claim 8, comprising means for identifying a plurality of embedded hyperlinks within the search result;

and

means for creating, in dependence upon the plurality of embedded hyperlinks, a plurality of member URIs.

12. The system of claim 11 further comprising:

means for retrieving, in dependence upon the group URI, a plurality of member URIs;

means for retrieving a plurality of indexed resources identified by the plurality of member URIs; and

means for displaying the plurality of retrieved indexed resources.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein means for displaying the plurality of retrieved indexed resources comprises means for displaying each retrieved indexed resource for a display interval length.

14. The system of claim 8 comprising means for emailing the group URI.

15. A computer program product for administration of URIs in groups, the computer program product comprising:

a recording medium;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for creating a group URI;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving, from a user, a search term;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for providing the search term to a search engine;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving a search result including an embedded hyperlink to an indexed resource;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying the embedded hyperlink within the search result;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for creating, in dependence upon the embedded hyperlink, a member URI; and

means, recorded on the recording medium, for storing the group URI and the member URI.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying the embedded hyperlink within the search result comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for finding a start tag of an anchor element and means, recorded on the recording medium, for reading a target identifying a URI.

17. The computer program product of claim 15 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for storing the group URI and the member URI comprises:

means, recorded on the recording medium, for finding the search term in the indexed resource; and

means, recorded on the recording medium, for highlighting the search term.

18. The computer program product of claim 15, comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a plurality of embedded hyperlinks within the search result;

and

means, recorded on the recording medium, for creating, in dependence upon the plurality of embedded hyperlinks, a plurality of member URIs.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 further comprising:

means, recorded on the recording medium, for retrieving, in dependence upon the group URI, a plurality of member URIs;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for retrieving a plurality of indexed resources identified by the plurality of member URIs; and

means, recorded on the recording medium, for displaying the plurality of retrieved indexed resources.

20. The computer program product of claim 19 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for displaying the plurality of retrieved indexed resources comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for displaying each retrieved indexed resource for a display interval length.

21. The computer program product of claim 15 comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for emailing the group URI.
