1. An apparatus for the provisioning of information pages comprising:
- a storage device having stored therein a plurality of executable instructions that implements an information server, when contacted by a client device using a uniform resource locator (URL) comprising a server name of the information server immediately followed by a separator immediately followed by a pseudo resource identifier nominally identifying a resource of the information server in accordance with a URL standard, the information server interprets a first portion of the pseudo resource identifier as a product identifier identifying a product and a second portion of the pseudo resource identifier as a marketing code identifying a type of media used to disseminate the URL, the type of media being a radio medium, a television medium, or a print medium, and in response, constructs and issues one or more queries including the product identifier to retrieve information corresponding to the identified product;
dynamically generates instructions to create an associated information page for the identified product for provisioning to the client device, with at least a portion of information presented in the associated information page including an explicit reference to the type of media used to disseminate the URL, and maintains statistics for the marketing code; and
at least one processor coupled to the storage device to execute the stored executable instructions.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a storage medium and a communicatively coupled processor are presented. The storage medium has stored therein a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed, implement an information server which, upon receiving a request including a resource identifier for an information page that may or may not exist, constructs and issues commands to retrieve the requested information and dynamically generates instructions to create the requested information page for provision to a requesting client if the information page does not exist.

12. An article of manufacture comprising:
a recordable medium having recorded thereon a plurality of machine executable instructions implementing an information server having a plurality of functions for provisioning resource information pages, the functions including a function such that when contacted by a client device using a uniform resource locator (URL) comprising a server name of the information server immediately followed by a separator immediately followed by a pseudo resource identifier nominally identifying a resource of the information server in accordance with a URL standard, the information server is to interpret a first portion of the pseudo resource identifier as a product identifier identifying a product and a second portion of the pseudo resource identifier as a marketing code identifying a type of media used to disseminate the URL, the type of media including a radio medium, a television medium, or a print medium, and, in response, to construct and issue one or more queries to retrieve information associated with the identified product;
to dynamically generate instructions to create the associated information page for the identified product for provisioning to a client, with at least a portion of information presented in the associated information page including an explicit reference to the type of media used to disseminate the URL; and
to maintain statistics for the marketing code.- View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
receiving a uniform resource locator (URL) including a server name of an information server followed by a separator followed by a pseudo resource identifier nominally identifying a resource of the information server in accordance with a URL standard; interpreting a first portion of the pseudo resource identifier as a product identifier identifying a product and a second portion of the pseudo resource identifier as a marketing code identifying a type of media used to disseminate the URL, the type of media including a radio medium, a television medium, or a print medium; providing an information page associated with the product to a requesting client device, at least a portion of the information page including an explicit reference to the type of media used to disseminate the URL; and
maintaining statistics for the marketing code. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
