摘要

The invention relates to a method for searching for data which is stored in a distributed system (1) or resources (2b, 5-10) containing data, wherein the data stored in the system (1) contains a time index relating to the moment when or period of time during which the data is or was available in the system (1). The search words defining the search conditions include a time parameter which limits the search to the time and/or time period defined by said time parameter. According to a method for accessing resources (2b, 5-10) of a distributed system (1) and for receiving and/or representing data stored in said resources (2b, 5-10), said data is displayed along with the information contained in the time index; data in the system (1) is accessed according to predefinable time parameters.
