Abstract

A method of providing data in response to a search request comprises the steps of a social networking website receiving the search request to provide a pseudonym associated with the real name; the social networking website determining that the search request is for a pseudonym which, within its database, is not associated with the real name; the social networking website referring the search request to a identity management server which contains an association between the pseudonym and the real name; the identity management server determining the pseudonym which is associated with the real name; and the identity management server providing an information item which is related to the pseudonym.
