Abstract
Abstract An apparatus comprising a storage medium and a communicatively coupled processor are presented. The storage medium has stored therein a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed, implement an information server which, upon receiving a request including a resource identifier for an information page that may or may not exist, constructs and issues commands to retrieve the requested information and dynamically generates instructions to create the requested information page for provision to a requesting client if the information page does not exist.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
An apparatus for provisioning real estate information pages, comprising: a storage device having stored therein a plurality of executable instructions that implements an information server for receiving a uniform resource locator (URL) consisting of a server name immediately followed by an identifier interpreted as a real estate identifier identifying a real estate, and in response, determining if an information page associated with the identified real estate exists, constructing and issuing one or more queries including the real estate identifier to retrieve information corresponding to the identified real estate and dynamically generating instructions to create the associated information page for the identified real estate for provisioning to a client if the associated information page is determined to not exist for the identified real estate; and a processor coupled to the storage device to execute the stored instructions.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
136 words
An apparatus for provisioning real estate information pages, comprising: a storage device having stored therein a plurality of executable instructions that implements an information server for receiving a uniform resource locator (URL) consisting of a server name immediately followed by an identifier interpreted as a real estate identifier identifying a real estate, and in response, determining if an information page associated with the identified real estate exists, constructing and issuing one or more queries including the real estate identifier to retrieve information corresponding to the identified real estate and dynamically generating instructions to create the associated information page for the identified real estate for provisioning to a client if the associated information page is determined to not exist for the identified real estate; and a processor coupled to the storage device to execute the stored instructions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein if the associated information page for the identified real estate is determined to exist, the information server provisions the associated information page for the identified real estate to the client.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Independent Claim
99 words
A method for provisioning real estate information pages, the method comprising: receiving from a client a uniform resource locator (URL) consisting of a server name immediately followed by an identifier interpreted as a real estate identifier identfying a real estate; determining whether an information page associated with the identified real estate exists; and constructing and issuing one or more queries including the real estate identifier to retrieve information corresponding to the identified real estate, and dynamically generating instructions to create the associated information page if the associated information page for the identified real estate is determined to not exist.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
99 words
A method for provisioning real estate information pages, the method comprising: receiving from a client a uniform resource locator (URL) consisting of a server name immediately followed by an identifier interpreted as a real estate identifier identfying a real estate; determining whether an information page associated with the identified real estate exists; and constructing and issuing one or more queries including the real estate identifier to retrieve information corresponding to the identified real estate, and dynamically generating instructions to create the associated information page if the associated information page for the identified real estate is determined to not exist.
