Abstract:

System and method for managing resource locators. A database of resource locators is established for selected resource locators. For example, the resource locators are those used to reference resources maintained at multiple web sites. An automated process reads the resource locators from the database and initiates access requests for the referenced resources. For each failed access request, the failed resource locator is reported. In various embodiments, the database is configured for storage of owner identifiers and failure codes in association with the resource locators, and the resource locators are indexed in a variety of categories.
