A system for managing semantic locks and semantic lock requests for a resource:
- a resource;
- a resource lock information indicating existing locks on said resource;
- a first lock compatibility table stored in a memory including information on a plurality of lock types, said information relating to the compatibility among the plurality of lock types;
- and
- a software module configured to:
- receive a first lock request;
- access said first lock compatibility table and said resource lock information to determine whether said first lock request is compatible with existing locks on said resource;
- and
- transmit a response indicating that said first lock request could be granted if said first lock request is compatible with the existing locks on said resource.
