Abstract

For facilitating access to information relating to a plurality of entities via a computer network, a network server system allocates a unique alphanumeric-coded identifier to each entity for which information is retrievable. Data linking each unique alphanumeric-coded identifier to at least one network location at which information relating to the corresponding entity is stored in the network server system. The network server system responding to a query from a client including a said unique alphanumeric-coded identifier to provide the client with the linking data for addressing the information relating to the entity corresponding to said unique alphanumeric-coded identifier. By providing that the system both allocates the unique alphanumeric identifiers and administers the routing of information in response to queries from a client, reliable location of the information relating to an entity (e.g., a product, service, etc.) can be achieved. Moreover, the use of an alphanumeric identifier means that the identifier can be kept short. This in turn enables easy entry of the identifier and makes it easier to remember a particular identifier. The same unique alphanumeric identifier can be used as an e-mail address to facilitate the sending of an e-mail to at least one address associated with an entity.
