Abstract

The usability of digital information on the internet strongly depends on its searchability. There are search engines for global language based text search, but language based information representation has only limited value, e.g. concerning reproducibility, comparability, precision. Searchable digital information can be much more. Any piece of digital information is a number sequence. We can define the binary format and value set resp. domain of every number online. Then universal information transport is possible by the online defined "Domain Vector" (DV) data structure: "UL plus number sequence". At this "UL" is an efficient link to the machine readable online definition of the number sequence. The UL also is global identifier of a certain kind of data. The online definition includes additional information, e.g. for similarity comparison of the number sequence. With this a universal numeric search engine can provide precise user defined worldwide search of DVs like in a globalized database. All users can participate. Together we can optimize online definitions and provide defined data as DVs. Initially it is necessary to build a first attractive online presence where users can provide online definitions. We should stay in contact to optimize together the common standard for machine readable online definitions and DVs.

Highlights

Text search has become indispensable for every user of the internet
The same original information is represented in very variable way digitally as text, and often this representation is not precise
The online definition contains all information about the numbers' binary form and their domain

Summary

Introduction

Text search has become indispensable for every user of the internet. It is necessary, especially if we search for names and other distinctive text parts. Often we search not a priori text but the digital representation of some original. The same original information is represented in very variable way digitally as text, and often this representation is not precise. After building an online presence, all users could define adapted domains online [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
