this invention addresses the problems of current search techniques on the internet — volume , ranking , difficulty to assess — and extends the solution to all kinds of electronic information accessible through networks and databases . the solution principle engages the help of specialists in particular domains and supplies them with tools to effectively scour the information resources for high quality information in their field , to commit that knowledge to distributed databases , to construct dedicated knowledge environments , and to submit corresponding context information to centralized registries . end users implicitly access mirrored services of these registries and use the context information to focus their searches onto the resources qualified by the expert network . many of the individual techniques involved in building the tools for deployment , operation and exploitation of such “ networks of qualified knowledge ” are well known and may in the future be replaced by more effective techniques . the essence of the invention lies in the way these techniques are put to use to implement the presented process .
