Abstract
In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a method of data drilling is presented. A network database is deployed in a network, such as the Internet, for broad-based user access. Network information is stored in the network database and is organized in layers. A graphical user interface with data objects is presented to an end user. Selecting a data object generates a query performed by a server. Each query produces more details on an initially selected data object.
