SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE FOR A VIRTUAL ONLINE COMMUNITY INCLUDING A DATABASE OF STRUCTURED AND LINKED INFORMATION ACCESSIBLE TO ACCREDITED MEMBERS

摘要

A system for use on a global computer network, such as the Internet, allows for the creation, development, maintenance and sharing of information in a particular formulated and structured method. Accredited members (users) are represented by a six-sided three dimensional graphical cube (block). A primary cluster of cubes provides for clustering of data relating to people, products, places and services (i.e., P3S), while secondary cube clusters are used to classify animals and plants, for example. The six sides of each cube correspond to the six generic questions about who, what, where, when, why and how (i.e., W5H) concerning P3S. The data information of each represented cube is stored on a page or book of pages that are arranged on the six sides of the cube to supply interaction and answers to W5H relating to P3S clusters. Members communicate and interact to access P3S clusters and obtain content about W5H.
