Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2355555A] A network server system allocates a unique alphanumeric identifier to each entity for which information is retrievable. Data linking each identifier with at least one network location at which corresponding information is stored is recorded in the server system, and is provided in response to a query including the identifier. The identifier may possess a variety of extensions to allow retrieval of specific information about the entity, such as online ordering or product instructions. Where the network server supports an Internet domain, an identifier may be linked with at least one email address, and an email router may respond to an email addressed to an identifier at the Internet domain by forwarding the email to the associated email address or addresses.
