Abstract

A system enables a user to maintain a catalog of network objects of interest to the user. The system comprises a diary owner system, a diary server and content providers, each coupled to a computer network. Each content provider includes presentable objects, annotated universal addresses which identify the objects and have annotations for controlling aspects of the objects or addresses, and transfer scripts enabling the transfer of the annotated universal addresses to the diary server. The diary server maintains the annotated universal addresses and presentation context information for subsequent retrieval. Accordingly, a diary owner or other user can access the annotated universal addresses and presentation context information to present the diary. Since content providers generate the annotations within the annotated universal addresses, the content provider can control aspects of the objects from within the user's diary. Since the presentation context information is separated from the content, presentation context can easily be modified.
