1. A method of generating sequencing information representing a sequence of items selected in a database, each of the items comprising a set of descriptors, said method comprising the steps of:

  • specifying a length of said sequence and at least one of said descriptors;

    applying similarity relation techniques between said items of said sequence under construction, in which, for at least one item to appear in the sequence,wherein said item is chosen from said database on the basis of a similarity relation with a neighboring item of said sequence with which said chosen item shall be associated, so as to create a morphological continuity along said sequence, andsaid applying step comprises modeling each of said descriptors in a desired sequence as a constrained variable; and

    producing and storing in memory said associated items as at least part of said generated sequence, said sequence thereby having said morphological continuity.
