Abstract
A network navigation method includes steps of reading a first code (24) from an object (12), communicating a portion of the first code (24) to a first database (54), receiving translation information from the first database (54) to associate a plurality of electronic addresses with a plurality of codes (24, 26, 30) including the first code (24), and translating the first code (24) to a first electronic address using the translation information. A network navigation system is provided to perform the aforementioned steps.
