In a method, system, or computer-readable medium for an ontology-based request/reply service (RRS), different request/reply services (RRS) are hosted, each different RRS dedicatedly represents a different unique service and provides connections from client to server instance of the unique service, each different RRS accessed by client and server instances through a same independent communication layer (ICL). A request from the client is received through the ICL. The RRS is determined by the unique service indicated in the request, and instantiated dynamically as needed, according to an individual RRS ontology which establishes a syntactical and semantical framework dedicated to the unique service. The request is routed to the RRS and then through a server instance of the unique service to process the request; then a response is returned to the client to satisfy the request. It provides transport connectivity and mutual communication between combinations of clients, different RRSs, and server instances.

Method and system for an ontology based request/reply service

The system may provide for the collection of data in a heterogeneous network, long term secure storage of the data, and secure transfer of the data to an environment that may be secure and controlled for the purpose of controlled and secure selected viewing of all or parts of the data. The data stored may include core data of interest as well as any data that is associated with the core data. The core data and associated data may be stored. To do so, the system may identify and collect associated data at the point of release of all or part of the data. Further, the system may provide secure and controlled transfer of the data to a permanent and secure media. Lastly, the system may provide secure transfer of all or parts of the data from the media to a controlled and secure environment suitably constructed to provide for secure viewing of all or parts of the data under the control of the owner of the data.

System and method for a secure data collection system

A trusted agent for enabling the check of the access of a user operating a first computer system controlled by a first security system to software and/or data on a second computer system controlled by a second security system. The trusted agent includes several functions, including: (a) reception of a user-id for the second computer system and transmission of the user-id to the second security system; (b) retrieval of a shared secret, which is registered in the fist security system and in the second security system, from the second security system; and (3) transmission of the shared secret from the trusted agent to the second computer system.

Method for checking user access

An object interface is disclosed that supports three modes of inter-object communication--message processing (store and forward), conversational communication, and remote procedure call. A service broker manages service requests from, and responsive services provided by, a plurality of clients and servers, respectively, which may reside on different hardware platforms and operating systems and may be connected to computer networks having different network architectures and associated communications protocols. The broker manages the service offerings from servers and service requests from clients, and clients and servers communicate and exchange information with one another via the broker. The service broker includes different application programming interfaces for allowing participants to access the functionality of the service broker.
