Abstract: The invention relates to a method of retrieving attributes from at least two data sources (DS) by accessing the data source(s) (DS) identifying a number of attributes (A) of said data source(s) (DS), associating/assigning at least two attributes to a set of associated attributes (ASA), storing a retrieving profile (RP), according to which attributes (A) of the data sources may be retrieved. According to the invention, multiple data sources may be accessed by users having limited resources, such as time and money, as access may be established by means of a simple query, which may subsequently be effected by means of the stored retrieving profile.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer with a user interface, the computer including central processing units, memories, and network interfaces, a program code that performs a search and transaction based on user input, the interface displaying in conjunction with code execution, an input environment adapted to search criteria input, the criteria defining a search for desired entities, the program code establishing a search engine that searches on different web sources to generate a search result, the engine searching using a combination of different input entities, a first entity and a second entity includable in the different entities, the engine searching for the configuration, the different entities being purchasable from different web sources, the engine searching on different web sources for the combination, and presenting found configurations, the engine providing at least one order input determined by at least one found configuration, the system taking mutual dependencies between the entities into consideration.

Abstract: Disclosed is a user interface including an input environment adapted to user inputting of search criteria, the search criteria defining a search for at least one entity, the user interface including a search engine adapted to performing a search on at least two different web-based data sources, the user interface including means for presenting the search result, the input environment being adapted to user inputting of an order, the user interface including a business transaction engine for initialization of a business transaction based on at least one user input of an order. An important feature of the invention is that the user interface features a web-based “search, find, buy” methodology. Hence, the user may specify the desired entity by means of the user-interface, and subsequently be presented with the found entities matching the established search criteria, and then perform a business transaction by applying the same user interface.

Abstract: A domain processor includes at least one robot modeler, at least one domain modeler, and at least one Query Processor Modeler. The robot modeler includes means for modeling at least one computer-based robot, the robot adapted for accessing at least one web-based data source including entities in a predefined domain. The domain modeler includes means for modeling at least one domain model and means for establishing at least one extraction model and at least one storage model. The Query Processor Modeler includes means for selecting at least two Query Processor elements from a set of predefined query processor elements, means for combining the selected Query Processor elements, and means for executing the associated query processor elements on at least one computer system, at least one of the query processor elements of the associated query processor elements being a Robot query processor Element adapted for accessing the web-based data source.
