Methods, Systems, And Computer Program Products For Maintaining Consistency Between Non-Geospatial And Geospatial Network Directory Systems

A method for maintaining consistency between non-geospatial and geospatial network directory systems, the method comprising:

• updating, by a first network directory service representing a geospatial domain in a geospatial domain space, a record associating a geospatial identifier and a first network identifier, the geospatial identifier identifying a geospatial location at least partially included in a geospatial region identified by the geospatial domain and associated with a node identified by the first network identifier;
• generating a message including change information based on the updating, wherein the message identifies a second record identifying the node at a second network directory service representing a second domain in a second domain space;
• and
• sending the generated message to the second network directory service for updating the second record,
• wherein at least one of the preceding actions is performed on at least one electronic hardware component.

A system for maintaining consistency between non-geospatial and geospatial network directory systems, the system comprising:

• means for updating, by a first network directory service representing a first domain in a first domain space, a first record associating first location information and a first network identifier, the first location information identifying a geospatial location associated with a node identified by the first network identifier;
• means for generating a message including change information based on the updating, wherein the message identifies a second record identifying the node;
• at a second network directory service representing a second domain space, the geospatial domain identifying a geospatial region at least partially including the geospatial location;
• and
• means for sending the generated message to the second network directory service for updating the second record,
• wherein at least one of the means includes at least one electronic hardware component.

A system for maintaining consistency between non-geospatial and geospatial network directory systems, the system comprising system components including:

• a domain manager component in a first network directory service representing a first domain in a first domain space, the domain manager component configured to update a first record associating first location information and a first network identifier, the first location information identifying a geospatial location associated with a node identified by the first network identifier;
• a change agent component configured to generate a message including change information based on the updating, wherein the message identifies a second record identifying the node at a second network directory service representing a geospatial domain in a second domain space, the geospatial domain identifying a geospatial region at least partially including the geospatial location;
• and
• a domain space agent component configured to send the generated message to the second network directory service for updating the second record,
• wherein at least one of the system components includes at least one electronic hardware component.
