1. A system comprising:
- circuitry implementing a graphical user'"'"'s interface, the interface presenting a multi-dimensional information containing graphical image generated by a first software system, the first software system recorded on a computer readable medium;
a database of information coupled to the circuitry; and
second software recorded on a computer readable medium and coupled to the circuitry, the second software acquires an indicium that identifies the graphical image, and responsive thereto, automatically overlays a second graphical image, from the database, the second graphical image includes additional information which supplements and which is associated with the information on the multi-dimensional image.

Abstract
Commercially available applications which display information via a graphical user'"'"'s interface can be supplemented with additional related information. The related information can be automatically extracted and overlaid on the information with the assistance of a pre-established ontology.

16. Software recorded on a computer readable medium comprising:
-
first software responsive to a user'"'"'s input to present first information on a computer driven display device; second software which provides an indicium of the first information; and third software which responds to the indicium and automatically presents related second information, on the display, to supplement the first information. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A system comprising:
-
an apparatus for retrieving and displaying information, on a graphical display device in response to at least one user entered resource identifier; control circuitry coupled to the apparatus; and at least one ontology coupled to the control circuitry with the control circuitry, responsive to the resource identifier, retrieving related information from the ontology to supplement the displayed information. - View Dependent Claims (20)

21. A process comprising:
-
establishing, in response to a resource identifier entered by a user, a primary image to be presented on a display device; obtaining the identifier of the image to be presented on the display; coupling the identifier to an input port for an ontology; obtaining supplemental information from the ontology concerning the primary image; and presenting an image of the supplemental information on the display simultaneously with the primary image. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
