Abstract: A method for identifying a related collection of web sites using domain names on a global computer network is accomplished by selecting at least one descriptor corresponding to the content of each collection of web sites, using reflective characters surrounding each at descriptor to form a second level domain name and placing information for each collection of web sites under the second level domain containing the one descriptor corresponding to each collection of web sites. The method permits relevant collections of web sites to be accessed quickly. The method is particularly well suited for identifying collections of commercial web sites relating to a particular type of goods or services.
