Resource Data Management

A data processing system for resource data management, the data processing system comprising:

• a bus;
• a memory connected to the bus, wherein the memory comprises computer-executable instructions;
• a communications adapter connected to the bus;
• a display adapter connected to the bus;
• a processor connected to the bus, wherein the processor executes the computer-executable instructions to direct the data processing system to:
• determine whether a resource entry in a first data structure for a set of resources is unique in which the entry is a current resource;
• responsive to a determination that the current resource is unique, identify a corresponding entry in a second data structure;
• store a replaceable unit data for the current resource to form a current data file;
• determine whether the corresponding entry contains a copy indicator;
• responsive to a determination that the corresponding entry contains a copy indicator, copy the current data file into a set of data files, wherein each data file represents a resource identified by the copy indicator;
• determine whether the corresponding entry has a modify indicator;
• and
• responsive to a determination that the corresponding entry has a modify indicator, update each data file in the set of data files with a characterization data for a respective resource in the set of data files.

A computer program product for resource data management, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable recordable type medium, tangibly embodying computer-executable instructions thereon, the computer-executable instructions comprising:

• computer-executable instructions for determining whether a resource entry in a first data structure for a set of resources is unique in which the entry is a current resource;
• computer-executable instructions responsive to a determination that the current resource is unique, for identifying a corresponding entry in a second data structure;
• computer-executable instructions for storing a replaceable unit data for the current resource to form a current data file;
• computer-executable instructions for determining whether the corresponding entry contains a copy indicator;
• computer-executable instructions responsive to a determination that the corresponding entry contains a copy indicator, for copying the current data file into a set of data files, wherein each data file represents a resource identified by the copy indicator;
• computer-executable instructions for determining whether the corresponding entry has a modify indicator;
• and
• computer-executable instructions responsive to a determination that the corresponding entry has a modify indicator, for updating each data file in the set of data files with a characterization data for a respective resource in the set of data files.

A data processing system for resource data management, the data process system comprising:

• a set of data structures defining resource relationships and locations for a set of resources to form defined resource relationships and defined locations for the set of resources;
• a receiver, wherein the receiver obtains replaceable unit data and obtains characterization data for a current resource in the set of resources to form obtained replaceable unit data and obtained characterization data for the current resource and wherein the obtained replaceable unit data is obtained from a secure device and the obtained characterization data is obtained from an unsecure device;
• and
• a writer, wherein the writer merges the obtained replaceable unit data for the current resource with the obtained characterization data for the current resource for each resource of the set of resources to form a set of data files and wherein each data file corresponds to a resource in the set of resources.
