Abstract: Concept Taxonomy data structure and naming system, is a normalized schema and ontology for secure universal storage, retrieval and back-up of information which parallels natural language, thought and etymology. Concept Taxonomy is the implementation and classification of a method to intuitively conceptualize, categorize, characterize, locate and compose any type of information. Concepts are elucidated by the compositions of propositions of predicate thought concepts to referent object concepts. The normalized data structure allows for maximum compactness and control of data, removing redundancy and storing each individual piece of data only once.

Abstract: Apparatus and method employing a programmable computer for providing a list of data items corresponding to geometrically describable materials based upon a profile specified by a user includes, storing data items in a data base. Each data item includes geometrically descriptive terms and trading parameters identifying characteristics of an item offered for sale by an advertiser. A profile is generated by a user which includes geometrically descriptive terms and trading parameters identifying characteristics of an item sought for purchase by the user. The profile identified by the user is compared to each data item stored in the data base and data items are identified which match the profile. The data item identified are provided to the user in accordance with the user's specific delivery instructions.
