Information aggregation and synthesization system
First Claim
1. An information aggregation and synthesization process, which process comprises:
- operating a network addressable interface device by a user;
communicating between said network addressable interface device and a plurality of local or network accessible datastores through network specific addressing means; and
accessing, retrieving and processing data passing between said network capable device and said datastores through an intermediary gateway system.

Abstract
An information aggregation and synthesization system and process. The present invention provides aggregation and packaging of structured or unstructured information from disparate sources such as those available on a network such as the Internet. A network compatible/addressable interface device is operated by a user. The network interface device communicates with local datastores or network accessible datastores via an addressing scheme such as Uniform Resource Locator addresses (URLs) utilized by the Internet. Data passing between the network interface device and the datastores is accessed, polled, and retrieved through an intermediary gateway system. Such aggregated information is then synthesized, customized, personalized and localized to meet the information resource requests specified by the user via the network interface device.
