Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method and system for facilitating viewer navigation through online information utilizing a metaphorical representation of a periodic table of elements. The system comprises a server in communication with at least one database; a link to an order fulfilment system; a link to a payment processing system; and a link to a client system. The system is executing software including web server and application server software; a commerce tool; and database management and security tools. The system is also executing a navigation tool that includes a user interface displaying objects metaphorically simulating a periodic table of elements. The objects are linked to functions provided by the navigation tool. The invention also includes a method for navigating within a graphical user interface of a computer system over a network. The method comprises providing a metaphorical representation of a periodic table of elements on a display device of the computer system, linking each of the elements to an item stored in a database and, upon selecting one of said elements, retrieving the item from storage and displaying it on the display device. The metaphorical representation includes arranging each of the elements in an asymmetric tabular form, and associating each of said elements with a two-letter abbreviation comprising an upper case alphabetic character followed by a lower case alphabetic character.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to graphical user interfaces and navigation tools, and more particularly to a method and system for facilitating viewer navigation in online information about chemical products via a navigation tool and user interface displaying an analog representation of the periodic table of elements. Background of the invention [0002] Applications such as databases, word processing, and spreadsheet programs perform specified tasks and solve identified problems. Historically, these programs have been controlled by an operating system, such as the Disk Operating System (DOS) provided by Microsoft(TM). Users interact with these computers by typing predetermined commands into input devices and access information within the computer system by typing commands that instruct the computers to run software programs, change directories, and view directories. [0003] In an attempt to make the use of computers more intuitive, graphica...
