  • the present invention relates to the field of electronic publishing; more specifically, it relates to a method and system for placing documents in a searchable database via the Internet.
  • Another similar difficulty for a Web-based publication site is winning client trust. Being directed to the publication site by a channel partner site that a client already knows and has established a relationship with relieves this difficulty to a great extent. This problem is further relieved when the publication site can emulate, to a certain extent, the "look and feel", of the channel partner Web site.
  • Examples of channel partner sites might be sites specializing in ballooning, or car restoration, or one for bicycle enthusiasts.
  • the publication Web site provides the ability to search for documents as well as publish documents. While the channel partner site itself may not have the capability large volume publication, the publication Web site does. Further, there may be several bicycle channel partner Web sites, so the publication Web site generally has more documents available than any individual bicycle channel partner (or non-partner) Web site, if a client wanted to search the publication Web site to see what has already been published.
