Abstract

A BOOKMARK element is proposed to be included within the HEAD element of a markup language document. Such a BOOKMARK element is intended to provide a default bookmark label that is to be associated with a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) of a markup language document when storing the URI of the markup language document as a bookmark or favorite. A short, to-the-point label suggested by an author of the markup language document may be seen as beneficial particularly to users of mobile communication devices. Such a suggested label may also greatly improve the user experience of desktop-based browsers.

Claims

1. A method of storing a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) of a document composed in a markup language, said mod comprising:

storing said URI of said document, thereby creating a stored URI;

determining a label based on selecting between a value of a first attribute of an element of said document and a value of a second attribute of said element; and

storing said label in association with said stored URI.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said markup language is the Hyper-Text Markup Language.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein said element is a first element and said first element is included in the HEAD element of said document.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising receiving an instruction to store said URI of said document.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein said markup language is the extensible Markup Language.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining a description of said document based on a value of a third astute of said element; and

storing said description in association with said stored URI.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein said storing further comprises;

determining a folder name based on a value of a third attribute of said element of said document; and

storing said stored URI in a folder having said folder name.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining a Universal Resource Identifier of a file containing an image based on a value of a third attribute of said element of said document;

obtaining said file containing said image from a machine hosing said image, where a name for said machine may be determined from said URI; and

storing a rendering of said image in association with said stored URI.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein said second attribute of said element represents a character string no more than half the length of said first attribute.

9. (canceled)

11. A system for displaying documents composed in a markup language, said system adapted to:

store said URI of said document, thereby creating a stored URI;

determine a label based on selecting between a value of a first attribute of an element of said document and a value of a second attribute of said element; and

store said label in association with said stored URI.

12. A computer readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when performed by processor in a system for displaying documents composed in a markup language, cause said processor to:

store said URI of said markup language document thereby creating a stored URI;

determine a label based on selecting between a value of a first attribute of an element of said document and a value of a second attribute of said element; and

store said label in association with said stored URI.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein said second label is an abbreviated version of said first label.

13. A method of generating a document in a markup language, said method comprising:

providing a first label as a value of a first attribute of an element of said document; and

providing a second label as a value of a second attribute of said element;

where one of said first label and said second label may be stored, in a system for displaying markup language documents, in association with a Universal Resource Identifier of said document.

15. A system for generating a document in a markup language, said system adapted to:

provide a first label as a value of a first attribute of an element of said document; and

provide a second label as a value of a second attribute of said element;

where one of said first label and said second label may be stored, in a system for displaying markup language documents, in association with a stored Universal Resource Identifier of said document.

16. A computer readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when performed by processor in a system for generating a document in a markup language, cause said processor to:

provide a fist label as a value of a first attribute of an element of said document; and

provide a second label as a value of a second attribute of said element;

where one of said first label and said second label may be stored, in a system for displaying markup language documents, in association with a stored Universal Resource Identifier of said document.

17. A method of storing a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) of a document composed in a markup languages said method comprising:

storing said URI of said document, thereby creating a stored URI;

determining a value for a first attribute of an element of said document;

determining a value for a second attribute of said element;

selecting a candidate label value as either said value of said first attribute or said value of said second attribute; and

storing said candidate label value in association with said stored URI.
