Patent Images
1. A computer-based method, comprising the steps of:
- receiving from a client a request for access to a content object;
responsive to the request of the client, identifying an annotated universal address (AUA) having a universal address identifying a location of the content object and having an annotation authored by a content provider for controlling an aspect of a presentation of the object, the AUA being present in an AUA database containing one AUA;
responsive to the request of the client, identifying a presentation context for controlling ion behavior of the object; and
transmitting to the client the presentation context, the AUA and an applet for dynamically generating a page definition for the presentation of the object, the page definition being generated from the presentation context and the AUA.

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.
