Abstract:
1. A user interface for presenting and searching link relationships between document objects located on a network, the user interface comprising: a processor and memory connected to a single display; a first portion of the single display, wherein one or more link relationship attributes are displayed, the one or more link relationship attributes describing one or more link relationships between document objects located on the network; and a second portion of the single display, wherein one or more entries are displayed from the group consisting of: link references that represent document objects, wherein the link references are found within one or more records representing the one or more link relationships between document objects, whereby each record comprises a traversable pairwise connection between document objects by having a field identifying a first document object, a field identifying a second document object, and one or more fields identifying link relationship attributes describing a traversable connection between the two document objects, additional link relationship attributes describing the link relationships, link reference attributes describing the link references, and document objects, wherein the document objects are stored on the network separate from the link relationships between document objects; and wherein at least one of the displayed one or more entries in the second portion is selected and communicated which causes a system to locate and transmit, for later use in a display, one or more link relationships between document objects described by the displayed one or more link relationship attributes in the first portion and related to the selected entry, thereby improving the functionality of the network by enhancing a user's ability to locate document objects on a network by transforming a user selection into a contextual search for document objects located on a network.
