Abstract
A resource identifier parser can derive information from resource identifiers that are provided to non-browser application programs or the operating system, such as through the desktop area of a windows-based user interface. The resource identifier parser can understand the formatting of resource identifiers of specific domains and can derive therefrom information such as coordinates of a map page, the title of classified listings, and other like information. If the resource identifier cannot be parsed, the identified data page can be referenced to identify services offered by the page, such as data feed services, which can then be presented to the non-browser application program or the operating system to which the resource identifier was provided. As yet another alternative, the domain can provide a customized resource identifier parser to parse its resource identifiers. Such a customized parser can be either downloadable and locally executable or it can be a network service.
