Abstract

Structurisation and interrogation methods of a platform, basic open, transparent universal, to refer and contain digital information, formed by autonomous archives of independent n-ple comprising mainly alpha-numerical terns. Structured in this way, the platform, in order to uniformly represent and recover data that are otherwise held in different containers such as tables, trees, lists and links, and to allow an easier diffusion and/or correlation of information through the common presence of one or two of the three string-elements, or of a declared element or one calculated as being equivalent.

METHOD FOR STRUCTURING AND RECOVERING INFORMATION
BACKGROUND ART
The invention concerns methods for the organisation and- registration of information in the 5
Figure imgf000002_0001
The current way of conceiving and producing application software and information support, such as hypertexts (web pages) and databases, does not allow the user to register and effectively consult the spjrt of .ir ojrtiatioR.-tha - is..s, --ρ e.d. fi:e.e,.an,d. natural- Λv i , should, be e(asjlχ. an irønjediately-. memorisable and recoverable.

Structured information, such as that contained in the databases, is too restrained, therefore it is all too often impossible to integrate other information comfortably, over and above the originally- 5 planned structure.
Thq sar.φ,&r. fBe$.i&, i£ ul^ folders, cannot interact with the information given by subject thesauri.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The system, which is the aim of the idea, comprises an organisation method based on a system of Q stru .turisatioα, and consultation, Q£ digital ormatiøa su . as,, d λxeb.. pages, soun and image files, primitive data such as words, phrases, numbers and dates, etc. It consists in management methods of a platform comprising isolated archives de-localised in the h.a--d. disk, lαc„al network, and world, wide, web, each, formed mainly- of a. free, unit of tria units- containing information that is independent one from the other, and each formed mainly by three 5 string elements.
The fundamental unit comprises two writing elements (terms or sentences, numbers, dates, etc.) mediated by- a. third central, element, expressed or understααd, that can, he, localised for use, by. means of the alphabetical order of each of its three elements. The unit can hold both the information itself (FIG. 1) and the reference to other, more complex 6 information, found elsewhere, i.e. in traditional' files. (FIG; 2).
T_he. minimum, general unit of infismationis, triadic, as. in. this, way- it can hold various. pairs/terns, such as class/properties of the class, class/element of the class, element of the elass/property of the class/description-value of the properties of the element, file name/file address /file. description, file, name/file, address, /file, properties, term/foreigα language, /transktion. into- foreign language, term/' synonym: '/synonym of term, term/' symbolic equivalent of term:'/ symbolic equivalent of term, term/'etymologic equivalent of term:'/ etymologic equivalent of term, term 'phonetic equivalent of term: '/phonetic equivalent of term etc.
The tern, is- considered as, it is. also: the minimum, n-pla, possible tα unifcxrmly represent the. information contained in the tables, trees, lists and links; the best n-pla to create a graphic interface to recover data and consult them as immediately comprehensible (it is just necessary to read the significant contents of a series of terns in columns); the n-pla that consists in the niinimum indexing of elements.ofthe.computer unit
The essence of the system comprises the constraint, given by the platform structure, in reducing the information to elementary forms, independent, and triadic and the methods of relating to them by belonging to a common term or other terms declared as being equivalent. The platform demands , that the infermation, as. well as. all reference.ihexεto, in view: of being treated in accordance, with, these methods, is reduced before registration, into triadic units, semantically and structurally independent, which can be subsequently regrouped in order to have a coinciding or equivalent element in common (FIG; 3); The information. Maria..Rassf r.esidssJn,via. GarJbaldi. n.l5. in. Rimini; Aldo ianchi) schme is n, Rome in via della Gazzella number 23 while Marco Verdi lives in Milan in viaAltavilla 123 must be reduced to the set of terns in FIG: 4, while the tree structure in FIG. Swill be represented by the group .of tems-in,EIC ,6.
It is to our advantage to group the independent terns together inside the DBMS tables in three indexed fields, for example through the arrangement: Fieldl+Field2, Field2+Field3, Field3+Field2. For example a link between the information concerning Mario Rossi and that concerning Marco Vexdi is. achieved with, the tern Maria. Rossi : Maccα Verdi or with. Mario. Rossi/firiend of /Marco. Verdi.
The platform which is the aim of the idea does not connect the tern information because otherwisethe coni-ections,wi3U-dhajce.to.be.thought out beforehand and would form an, extremely complex structure, closed and unsuitable for amalgamation with others, as happens for example, between thesauri. The effect of consultation of the platform by an appropriate software could be only the mutual nearing on the monitor of triadic units that contain the same term, other terms declared to be equivalent, in, the ternary, units, or, others, that, answer, to. the, specific pohcies.exprfisse. by. the.. platform management software. 5 The system, forced not to define firstly the more schematic structures and formalisms, then allows consulting information in a more natural, universal' and effective manner, with a sort of fluid analogy, ahlg, to., integrate . and. amalgamate, data, and. terms, from, various, sources, as. already, mentioned due to strict coincidence and various types of equivalences or analogies. In the creation phase, it will be preferable to plan the tern sets of information previously held in
10 tables as isolated from those sets that contain terns of trees or those that contain links, for example, in..qr.der.tQ.he, able.to.check.Qr. inhibit the, changes.that.can,b.e -mplementqd.ta.ths s.ecQud.field.Qf the first sets of terns mentioned that contain the names of fields of the old tables. While comprising registered, well-localised, defined and firm units, this structure is not a universal, rigidly formed frame that has been closed and defined beforehand. It allows, therefore during
15. consultation, a, .dance of. simple .constructions .or, terms .and. aentences hat, re.cipr.ocally,matched.aiid. comprising fundamental units as simple as possible, ideograpbically represent and order information in a very functional manner within computers.
In this free and- open structure there is the possibility of inserting information of a completely or ever non, defined, αtnon-rdefinable.. context, as. the iι-foπnation.wiιich.is,subjectivs.fQr,the,usfit for, 0 example, can also make sense and be useful only defined like that and can be integrated with other information.
On the other hand' it is possible to create archives that contain only information of one single subject, limited, in. such, a. way. that in.the.ccrøsultatiQn. phase it, wjllhe possible, tα.decide..whethex to , enable it for reading, or not, in order to widen to restrict the field of research. 5 The new system can be supportive and complementary to the structurisation and consultation system of the Web, organising references to web pages and sites.
The reduction. tα.indep.endent terns .of ir-forraation,generall3 ,held.Qx represented, by. støctøes,.such.. as tables, tree branches, (therefore also folders/directories), lists and links, implies : a) The absence of references to data structures in the source code of platform management basic 0 software hX.The. setting aside, ofuse. of folders/directories, and. the windows 'Tfropertie-sl' for. example, of. Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel programmes, as, if the same data contained therein were to be memorised in terns, then these could interact naturally with those, for example, of the thematic thesauri and thos .. as.s,o.ciate.d.to. files that do..not.have, the windows "Properties", suc,h-as...graphs..and. other property files. 5 The use of folders/directories is in fact harmful if the cataloguing of document-files is based thereon, due to the feet that a file could should be present in more than one thematic foWer/dirg.ctQry. c) The use of an integrated environment for navigating, processing and handling information as, due to the characteristics thereof, the independent terns are situated between the data bases and
10 hypertexts, i.e. offering the advantages of both techniques: speed and precision of tables that accurately set.outte d) An integrated management of personal information, local networks, intra and internet. e) Results, from navigation in the data base, are not only contextual as in web pages, but are also accurate
15. f) Implicit and.bi^unifo.rm Jinks .between .the elements o.f.te,rns . g) Normalization of multi-value fields, that is not possible with the use of a single table.
