The present invention is directed to an information management system (“IMS”) which utilizes delegated control (FIG. 1) over a dataset to overcome a number of the problems associated with existing IMSs. Delegated control is the transfer, generally temporary, of at least partial control over the dataset (50) from a delegating system (100) to a delegate system (200). The delegating system has full control of the dataset, but declines to exercise that authority in regard to at least a portion of the dataset while authority over that portion of the dataset is delegated. Thus, any dataset modification request received from a reqestor (300) system that wants to modify the dataset, and is not the delegate or delegator, will be refused.
A method of controlling access to a set of resources using a plurality of computational nodes communicatively coupled via a network, said method comprising:
An information management system comprising:
A system comprising a primary data server, a first secondary data server, and a second secondary data server communicatively coupled to each other, wherein the primary data server comprises a core dataset and is programmed to operate at times in a first state and a second state, wherein while operating in the first state the primary data server modifies the core dataset in response to modification requests received from the second secondary data server even if such requests are not authorized by the first secondary data server, and while operating in the second state the primary data server does not modify the core dataset in response to modification requests received from the second secondary data server unless such requests are authorized by the first secondary data server.
A system comprising:
