Abstract:
A computer implemented a method of indexing and linking information which comprises the steps of:forming at least one first table on at least one first electronic-based medium wherein said table is a data table;forming at least one first field as a linking field and at least one second field as a data entry field in a first record structure of said at least one first table;inserting at least one first record in said at least one first table;assigning at least one first alphanumeric indicum to said at least one first record;storing said at least one first alphanumeric indicum in said at least one first field in said at least one first record;storing at least one first informational item in said at least one second field in said at least one first record;forming at least one second table on one or more of said at least one first and at least one second electronic-based medium wherein said table is a data table;forming at least one third field as a linking field and at least one fourth field as a data entry field in a first record structure of said at least one first tableinserting at least one second record in one of said at least one second and said at least one first table;assigning at least one second alphanumeric indicum to said at least one second record;storing said at least one second alphanumeric indicum in said at least one third field in said at least one second record;storing at least one second informational item in said at least one fourth field in said at least one second record;forming at least one third table on one or more of said at least one first, said at least one second, and at least one third electronic-based medium wherein said table is a central linking table;forming at least one fifth and at least one sixth field as indirect linking fields in a third record structure of said at least one third table;inserting at least one third record in said at least one third table;storing said at least one first alphanumeric indicum in said at least one fifth field in said at least one third record in said at least one third table; andstoring said at least one second alphanumeric indicum in said at least one sixth field in said at least one third record in said at least one third table such that a link is formed between said at least one first record in said at least one first table and said at least one second record in one of said at least one second and said at least one first table.
