Abstract: A method in a data processing system and apparatus for organizing electronic data, structured or unstructured, of one or more users stored across one or more server computers into structures on a recordable medium of a data processing system. The data items are structured in a heterogeneous string structure, and one or more embedded n-dimensional range structure within the heterogeneous string structure. Searching the plurality of string structures can then be done with a query including at least one term and a range threshold. Each data item is associated with a scoring function that is used to filter and rank the matched results.

Abstract: A method in a data processing system and apparatus for organizing files, data items, web site members, or web pages, structured or unstructured, of multiple users stored across one or more server computers into hierarchical file structures on a recordable medium of a data processing system. A user-defined metalabel is assigned to each of the electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages. The electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages are organized as a function of the metalabels into the hierarchical file structures. The method includes automatically weighting of individual metalabels as a function of a relevance of the at least one searchable term found in the corresponding one of the electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages. Searching the plurality of hierarchical structures can then be done with a query including at least one term and a relevance threshold.
