Abstract

A method, system and computer program for distributing a stored URL and web document set. The set includes data file records that contain a stored URL and the web document associated with the stored URL. The set is stored on a first computer system. In a specific embodiment, the set is stored in eXtensible Markup Language. When a query request is submitted, data file records are selected and a second set of data file records is created. The second set of data file records is sent to a second computer system.

Claims

1. A method for distributing a stored URL and an XML document related to the stored URL, comprising the steps of:

(1) parsing a web document of a first URL to obtain XML elements;

(2) writing a first XML data file from said XML elements and the first URL;

(3) storing the first XML data file on a first computer system;

(4) repeating steps 1 through 3 for at least one additional URL to generate a plurality of XML data files;

(5) searching the plurality of XML data files for a search criteria;

(6) creating a matching result data file containing at least one XML data file when at least one matching result is obtained from said searching; and

(7) sending the matching result data file to a second computer system.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first XML data file contains XML elements that are not metadata.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the first XML data file also contains a web document associated with the first URL.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the search criteria is comprised of a key word or a key phrase.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the first URL and the at least one additional URL are comprised from a favorites list.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the first URL and the at least one additional URL are comprised from a history list.

7. A computer program product in a computer readable memory for distributing a stored URL and an XML document related to the stored URL, comprising:

means for parsing a plurality of web documents from a plurality of URLs to obtain XML elements from each of the plurality of URLs;

means for writing a plurality of XML data files from the plurality of web documents and the plurality of URLs, each of said XML data files being written from a given set of XML elements from a given URL and the given URL;

means for storing the plurality of XML data files on a first computer system;

means for searching the plurality of XML data files for a search criteria;

means for creating a matching result data file containing at least one XML data file when at least one matching result is obtained from said searching; and

means for sending the matching result data file to a second computer system.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 wherein each of the plurality of XML data files contains XML elements that are not metadata.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein each of the plurality of XML data files also contains the web document associated with its given URL.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the search criteria is comprised of a key word or a key phrase.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the plurality of URLs is comprised from a favorites list.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the plurality of URLs is comprised from a history list.

13. A system for distributing a stored URL and web document set comprising:

means for parsing a plurality of web documents from a plurality of URLs to obtain XML elements from each of the plurality of URLs;

means for writing a plurality of XML data files from the plurality of web documents and the plurality of URLs, each of said XML data files being written from a given set of XML elements from a given URL and the given URL;

means for storing the plurality of XML data files on a first computer system;

means for searching the plurality of XML data files for a search criteria;

means for creating a matching result data file containing at least one XML data file when at least one matching result is obtained from said searching; and

means for sending the matching result data file to a second computer system.

14. The system claim 13 wherein each of the plurality of XML data files contains XML elements that are not metadata.

16. The system claim 13 wherein the search criteria is comprised of a key word or a key phrase.

17. The system claim 13 wherein the plurality of URLs is comprised from a favorites list.

18. The system claim 13 wherein the plurality of URLs is comprised from a history list.

15. The system claim 166 wherein each of the plurality of XML data files also contains the web document associated with its given URL.
