Method for publishing numerical data in a computer network and method for representing numerical data items in an application object

摘要

In a method for publishing numerical data in a computer network, a numerical data server offers a plurality of numerical data items which can be obtained through the network. A unique address (UA) is assigned to each data item, which provides a hyperlink with the numerical data server. Instead of the numerical data items the UA is distributed through the network. In an application object, such as a web page, a document, a database, a spreadsheet or the like, in a computer which can be connected to a computer network, a numerical data item is represented by a hyperlink to a numerical data server. A server or client is adapted to retrieve the associated numerical data item from the numerical data server through the network when using the application object.
