<p>Periodic messages containing resource information are received from network devices connected to the local network. The resource information includes user-requestable services offered by the network device, and data stored by the network device having a mime type. The resource information from each of the messages and a timestamp are stored in a repository. From the stored timestamp and resource information it can be determined which user-requestable services and data having a mime type were available on the network over a predetermined time period. A view of the user-requestable services and data having a mime type that were available on the network over the predetermined period can then be generated, allowing generation of current, past, and dynamic views of the user-requestable services offered by devices connected to the network and the data having a mime type stored by the devices.</p> |
