Title: OBJECT-NAMING NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE FOR IDENTIFICATION TAGS AND METHOD OF OPERA-TION THEREOF[err]Abstract: An object-naming network infrastructure and a method of responding to queries for object names. In oneembodiment, the infrastructure includes: (1) a central object name server coupled to a computer network and constituting afirst hierarchical level and (2) peripheral object name servers coupled to the computer network and constituting a secondhierarchical level, the central object name server responding to an object name query received from a querying system by directing the querying system to query instead one of the peripheral object name servers inthe second hierarchical level, the one of the peripheral object name servers either responding to the with an objectname or directing the querying system toquery instead further peripheral object name servers constituting a third hierarchical level.
