METHOD, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR LOCATING NETWORK FILES
First Claim
1. A method for searching files in a computer network, the method comprising:
- defining a plurality of dimensions, each of the plurality of dimensions having one or more dimension values;
maintaining a plurality of files;
assigning one or more of the dimension values to each of the plurality of fi storing the plurality of files in a retrievable form;
indicating the plurality of dimensions to a user;
accepting input from the user specifying one or more of the dimension values associated with one or more of the dimensions;
identifying one or more of the files that meet one or more of the dimension values associated with one or more of the dimensions specified by the user;
accepting input from the user specifying one or more of the files selected the user from the one or more identified files; and
identifying to the user one or more of the files selected by the user.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for accessing web pages on a network are provided. In use, different users are provided access to a plurality of sections of a file selected by the different users based on a community value for at least one community dimension assigned to each section of the file selected by the different users. In particular, a user is conditionally provided access to a section of a the selected by the user, based on a comparison of a user value indicating a community with which the user is associated to the community value for the at least one community dimension assigned to the section of the file selected by the user.
