The subject invention discloses a method for uniform identification of objects, namely an Object Reference Identifier (ORI), which is capable of representing uniformly the media such as homepage, telephone number, facsimile number, specific document, etc. of an object such as company, association, individual, etc. The ORI comprises identifiers such as "Identification Symbol", "Object", "Attributes". For the identification symbol, signs like "#", " DOLLAR ", "!" which are not generally in use for URL are adopted. The Object, consisted of elements divided by dots, may have a plurality of attributes. The Attributes may represent attributes of the media, or the contents as such, or mere reference to other objects or other attributes. An ORI produced as described above is then converted to the address of each media (URL, telephone number, e-mail address, etc.) at an ORI server, allowing a user to connect to the desired destination using said ORI. |
