A computer-implemented system for the retrieval and manipulation of information available via, an information network includes an information retrieval and processing component. The information retrieval and processing component includes: (a) search query means for conducting a search of the information network to obtain references to the information relevant to a search query; (b) information retrieval means for retrieving information available from sources on the information network, and an information store, for storage of retrieved information; and (c) processing means for processing of information retrieved from sources on the information network, and of information stored in the information store, to produce corresponding processed information. The system includes a cell-based user interface, and an intermediate storage layer, which permits a user, who may be unfamiliar with sophisticated computer programming languages, to develop automated processes for information transfer and manipulation based on present and historical information available via the information network. |
