METHOD AND COMPONENT FOR CLASSIFYING RESOURCES OF A DATABASE

摘要

A method of retrieving information comprises providing a query to a search engine and retrieving from the search engine a resource set, comprising at least one image matching the query. A representation of the resource set and a representation of a set comprising at least one condition are displayed via a user interface component. The condition set is associated with the query and is distinct from at least one other condition set associated with another query. Responsive to user interaction with the user interface component, one or more user selected images from the resource set are associated with a user selected condition from the condition set, to thereby classify the images.
