Abstract

Dans la présente invention on constate que les procédés de recherche et les articles de fabrication couramment utilisés, particulièrement sur l'Internet, souffrent d'une sélection pauvre et incomplète concernant l'information récupérée. Il existe donc un besoin pour des procédés de recherche et des articles de fabrication plus efficaces. La présente invention concerne une classification électronique et des systèmes de recherche permettant de satisfaire ces besoins. Une réalisation de l'invention se rapporte à une clé objet comprenant au moins deux des éléments suivants: un code champ unique, un code champ support, un code champ attribut et un code propriétaire. La clé objet peut contenir une information supplémentaire telle qu'un code http, un code URL, un code URI, un code texte, un code graphique, un code précision et un code propriétaire. Une autre réalisation de l'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une clé objet qui consiste à obtenir une information à partir d'un formulaire et à convertir cette information en un format lisible par machine. Le formulaire existe de préférence sous une forme standard qui, par exemple, peut être remplie et soumise par un fournisseur d'information. L'information se trouve de préférence sous un format lisible par machine formant par lui-même l'objet clé. D'autres réalisations concernent une clé objet obtenue à l'aide du procédé de la présente invention, ainsi qu'une composition de matière comprenant deux ou plusieurs clés objet. Les clés objets peuvent être sous forme de format lisible par machine et sous forme d'une base de données. Une autre réalisation de la présente invention concerne un procédé de recherche d'une base de données qui consiste à mettre en oeuvre une base de données de clés objet, à effectuer une requête et à comparer la requête à la base de données. La comparaison comprend, de préférence, l'utilisation d'un masque de manière à sélectionner, dans la base de données, des clés objet qui correspondent à la requête. Une autre réalisation de la présente invention concerne un procédé de récupération de l'information à partir d'une base de données consistant à mettre en oeuvre une base de données de clés objet, à effectuer une requête, à comparer la requête à la base de données afin d'obtenir au moins une clé objet sélectionnée, et à obtenir une sortie comprenant au moins la clé objet sélectionnée. Les clés objet sélectionnées peuvent être ordonnées selon la requête puis affichées. L'affichage est, de préférence, réalisé sous un format convenant à l'utilisateur. Une autre réalisation de la présente invention concerne une composition comprenant au moins une clé objet récupérée au moyen d'un procédé de l'invention. Une autre réalisation de l'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une composition, d'un composé ou d'un article de fabrication consistant à mettre en oeuvre un système de fabrication d'une composition, d'un composé ou d'un article de fabrication, à mettre en oeuvre une base de données de clés objet qui contient des clés objets se rapportant aux objets utilisés ou censés être utilisés dans la fabrication de la composition, du composé, ou de l'article de fabrication, à rechercher la base de donnée des clés objet, à obtenir une sortie de recherche comprenant au moins une clé objet, à sélectionner au moins une clé objet dans la sortie afin d'obtenir une clé objet sélectionnée. Une autre réalisation de la présente invention concerne un article de fabrication obtenu au moyen du procédé de l'invention. Une autre réalisation de la présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de réaliser des affaires consistant à réaliser une base de données de clés objet qui correspondent aux marchandises ou aux services proposés par au moins un fabricant ou un distributeur, à présenter à des clients au moins cet
