In a computing resource environment including at least two different resource name spaces, a method for generating a fully-qualified name for a resource based on a context-based name of that resource and a usage context is disclosed. Method steps include receiving the resource's name schema, its context-based name, and usage context; comparing an entry in the schema and an entry in the context-based name and identifying schema monikers missing from the context-based name. For a missing moniker, determining whether it is an attribute space (aspace) moniker. If it is an aspace moniker, adding it to a full name that includes the context-based name. If it is not an aspace moniker, determining the aspace associated with the missing moniker; searching the usage context for an association between the missing moniker, its aspace, and a value assigned to the missing moniker; and appending the searched-for items to the full name.

Omega names: name generation and derivation utilizing nested three or more attributes

A system and method with the following features is disclosed: receiving a partial name of a resource having an attribute moniker and attribute value; receiving a context associated with an attribute space moniker, an attribute moniker and an attribute value; receiving a schema associated with a set that includes an attribute space moniker and an attribute moniker; identifying a missing moniker that is present in the set but not the partial name; adding a missing moniker that is an attribute space moniker to the partial name; when a missing moniker is not an attribute space moniker, identifying a context where the attribute moniker is associated with the missing moniker and an attribute space moniker is present in the partial name or set; adding the context's attribute moniker and attribute value to the partial name; and returning the partial name with the added monikers and attribute values as the full name.

Resource name generation and derivation utilizing attribute space monikers and their associated context

A method of verifying the validity of a fully-qualified resource name within an environment including at least two different resource name spaces. The method includes receiving a fully qualified resource name having two or more tokens; and reading a token from the name. If the token represents the start of a name space, adding the name space onto a stack; and reading another token from the name. If read token doesn't represent the start of a name space, determining if it represents an end of the name space. If it does represent the end of the name space, popping the top of the stack as the subsequent token from the name. If it doesn't represent the start or end of the name space, checking if the token is a valid moniker for the name space. If it is valid, reading another token from the name, and otherwise returning an error.
