Abstract
A network has a naming service with a storage device for maintaining names of objects and attributes relating to those objects. The attributes each have a numerical identification in an attribute space. The attribute space has a predetermined block of undefined attributes divided into groups, each of which has a different predefined combination of access protections relating to different categories of users and different types of access. When a new attribute is defined, it can be associated with one of the undefined attributes in the group having a desired combination access protection.
