PhysicalWorldDatabase.org \ physical world database \, n : A repository of information about physical world objects. Utilized in more than 20 countries by businesses, educators, trainers, instructors and those with specialized interest in object-based information exchange. Associated terms include 'hardlink', 'physical world hyperlink', 'physical world connection' and 'Internet of things' to describe the construct of method and process to exchange information between objects and humans. Associated symbolism includes two forward slashes in front of an alphanumeric sequence as found on a target object. The two forward slashes identify the following sequence as a hardlink, index or reference number as used by the Physical World Database to return related information. This database also supports image recognition, barcode, 2d barcode and multiple RFID technologies.
Hardlink (build tip): When you add information to this database for some object you will create a unique ID name or number called a hardlink. This number is an alphanumeric sequence used to later access the information you add here. You can access this information by pointing your cell phones browser to PWdb.mobi (also called a channel) and when promoted enter that unique ID number that you have created here. It is best to select a uniqu ID number for your hardlink. For example, if you are going to store information about a lawn sprinkler control panel it is far better to use its serial number than it is to use the word 'Control Panel'. The reason for this is becauses at some point in the future you may wish to access your hardlink from another channel or source rather than PWdb.org, such as a common search engine. If you enter Control Panel in a common search engine you are not likely to find your information but if you enter the unique ID, it is far more likely to be a high first page return. Please note that if you do a search engine search rather than PWdb.mobi direct, it will be months before it shows up in a search engine, but its long-term data survival is quite high.
