| Summary: | A system is described in which a media browser, operating as a software application on a user terminal or preferably a server for a number of users, provides a user with a single user interface that facilitates browsing and searching different metadata collections over the Internet. A metadata server is associated with each of the metadata collections. When the metadata server receives a request from the media browser, the metadata server interprets the request and replies with a description that satisfies the request and according to a predetermined scheme. The description contains at least one link which represents a return link which represents a return request to the metadata server. Specifically disclosed are methods for recording user location preferences at a service and using one or more lists of such preferences to focus searching responses to statistically desirable material. Monitoring the validity of a bookmarked location is also described. |
