1. A method for generating a standardized model for a resource via social computing on a computer network comprising: receiving a request for the registration of a resource from a first client; collecting data defining at least one property of said resource to be registered; registering the resource with a server computer having a plurality of client computers coupled thereto; receiving subsequent request for the registration of a substantially similar resource from a second client; providing said subsequent client with earlier collected data from other clients defining the properties of said existing resource; receiving data chosen by said subsequent client defining the properties of said new substantially similar resource; weighting said collected data defining at least one property of said resource based on the frequency of selection of said data to define at least one of said property of said resource by clients of the server registering a substantially similar resource; designating a consensus, of said plurality of clients, of the defining properties of said substantially similar resources as the defining properties for a synthetic standard format model for said resource and substantially similar resources based on said weighted data.
