Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for maintaining federated name context bindings in a name space is disclosed. A reference within a first name space of a first system is bound with a durable subscription to a second name space on a second system. The binding of the first reference to the second name space is administered with a graphical user interface. A durable subscription is established with the second system for the binding utilizing communication with the second system over a network. Notification of a change affecting the bindings from the second system is received and the reference is rebound in the first name space.
