Abstract: A method for accessing web pages on a network is disclosed. The method comprises transferring a portion of a web page from a server computer to a display device over the network. The portion of the web page includes a selector allowing the user to concurrently select respective values for two or more dimensions. A user's choice is detected to indicate the value selected for each dimension chosen by the user and a filtering methodology selected by the user for each dimension chosen by the user. The filtering methodology is selected from a plurality of filtering methodologies. One or more web pages associated with information that meets all the respective values for the chosen dimensions are identified in accordance with the corresponding filtering methodologies selected for the chosen dimensions. Information about the identified web pages is sent to the user computer. At least one of the identified web pages includes a plurality of sections.

Abstract: A system uses “dimensions” to filter information in a computer network. Dimensions can be categories such as geographic location, corporate department, employee classification or time period, etc. Each dimension includes one or more “elements.” An element is essentially a “value” for the dimension. For example, in the “geographic location” dimension, values can be “worldwide,” “Europe,” “France,” etc. A “community” is a set of values for one or more dimensions. Thus, the community defines a segment, or “slice,” of documents or information within the total documents or information available. “Themes” are used to further organize the documents. Themes are subject categories. Documents, and document portions, can be associated with themes and are organized according to themes. Dimensions, dimension values, and themes can be set by a system administrator.
