Claim One:
1. A method to convert subjective metadata into statistical opinion data, comprising: a computer application launched by a user reacting to a web resource, said web resource comprising a uniform resource identifier or a local device file of said user which is assigned a uniform resource identifier by said application, said application comprising a survey comprising: a plurality of opinion choices, a graphical slider comprising a slide knob permitted to move along a slide track, functions permitting classification of said web resource and entry of comments and tags by said user, and a function to save inputs to said survey; creating subjective metadata regarding a web resource, comprising: said survey displays said plurality of opinion choices singularly or collectively, wherein an opinion choice consists of two words, each the antonym of the other and displayed on opposing ends of said slide track, wherein each said antonym names a specific human value, belief, opinion, feeling, emotion, or judgment, wherein one said antonym is negatively valued and its pairing antonym is positively valued, wherein user movement of said slide knob towards a said antonym indicates a said user subjective opinion in regards to a web resource and said subjective opinion is subjective metadata linked to said web resource, wherein a plurality of said subjective opinions may be indicated by said user during said survey, wherein additional said subjective metadata is created by said comments and tags entered by said user, and wherein said application requires said user to indicate at least one said subjective opinion prior to permitting said function to save inputs; objectification of said subjective metadata, comprising: said application assigns a maximum value of negative 10.00 to said negatively valued antonyms and a maximum value of positive 10.00 to said positively valued antonyms, said graphical slider further comprises a text box within which an opinion score is generated by said movement of said slide knob, wherein said movement is calibrated to display said opinion score ranging from negative 10.00 to positive 10.00 in increments of negative 0.01 if said movement is towards a negatively valued antonym or in increments of positive 0.01 if said movement is towards a positively valued antonym, wherein said application assigns said opinion score to a said subjective opinion when said user creates said opinion score for a subsequent said opinion choice or activates the said function to save inputs, and wherein an assigned opinion score objectifies said subjective metadata by combining said subjective opinion with a mathematical value represented by said opinion score; creating and outputting statistical opinion data, comprising: said user activating said function to save inputs creates an opinion survey, said opinion survey comprises database entry and storage of at least one said opinion score, uniform resource identifier data regarding a web resource, data captured by said functions permitting classification of said web resource and entry of comments and tags, and relational data elements, wherein said relational data elements comprise available and inferable network, analytic, geographic, and demographic data linking said opinion survey to said web resource and said user, wherein said database comprises the sum of all data from all said opinion surveys, wherein said database is cross referenced and searchable by query, wherein outputs comprising a subset of said web resources or said users containing said opinion survey data matches to said query are forward lookup statistical opinion data, and wherein outputs comprising cumulative said opinion score rankings of said users or said web resources by respective said antonyms are reverse lookup statistical opinion data.
