Abstract (en)
[origin: FR2810428A1] A collection of users (1) are provided with a contact database of a list of network identification addresses or network addresses of a subset of the users of a resource database comprising one or more lists of means of accessing data sources (6). Each search request is distributed iteratively from users (1b) to all or some of users (1c) in their contact base, called a consulted user, who then replies to the request. Each consulted user is operating in the resource base relating to the request. The invention also relates to a software product for use in a computer system for implementing such a method.
