Abstract

A system that enables creation of URL addresses in which the path information is partially or entirely symbolic. The symbolic path information is maintained even after the physical path information is altered, whereby users do not have to learn or provide constantly changing URL addresses to accommodate changes in the organization and presentation of evolving or changing web sites. To this end, web servers interface with a URL resolution database tool that contains information that enable the conversion of the symbolic path information to physical path information. Alternatively, the conversion from symbolic to physical path information is carried by augmented web browsers which have access to symbolic path information conversion servers located on the Internet at a centrally distributed location, or even locally, so that web servers receive only physical path information.
