Abstract

System and method for extracting, retrieving and managing data in a computer or network of computers through an enhancement of the power of the directory management system and email management system by enabling users to superimpose a hierarchy of descriptors on top of the system, to share, import and export the hierarchy of descriptors between computers with controlled access for data objects. The method and system is defined particularly for selecting individual references from search engine results and saving them along with descriptors. The method and system automatically generate reports of work done in the computer or network of computers, including creation, modification, copying, moving and deletion of files and folders. The method and system reduces the clutter of information while ensuring that the system is automatically backed up in different modes and with complete flexibility to back up.
