Abstract
Embodiments including a system for searching through a database using two or three dimensional data or data derived from the two three dimensional data. The database may be populated by searching a network environment to compile two dimensional image or three dimensional model data. A search for two or three dimensional data may be utilized to determine related advertisements that may be shown on a results page in connection with the search results. A database being searched may contain pricing data related to products that are associated with two or three dimensional data.

22. A method comprising:
-
identifying a node on a distributed network containing an unmapped data;
accessing the node to identify within the unmapped data a three dimensional digital content (3D content);
analyzing the 3D content to extract attributes of interest;
creating a record of the attributes together with a link to the node;
storing the record on a resource connected to the distributed network; and
organizing the record within a plurality of records based on the attributes to facilitate searching the plurality of records. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
