Linking an object or a location to the internet is a more involved process than linking two web pages. 

Components of an object hyperlinking scheme:

1. A physical or virtual tag to identify objects and locations. To allow the smaller physical tags to be located they must be embedded in visual markers.
2. A means of reading physical tags, or locating virtual tags.
3. A mobile device such as a mobile telephone, a PDA or a portable computer.
4. Additional software for the mobile device.
5. A digital wide area wireless network, such as the existing 2G and 3G networks, for communication between the portable device and the server containing the information linked to the tagged object.
6. Information on each linked object. This information could be in existing WWW pages, existing databases of price information etc, or have been specially created.
7. A display to view the information on the linked object. At the present time this is most likely to be the screen of a mobile telephone.
