Scalable Dataset Sharing With Linked Datasets

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to managing access to published data by different groups of users through linked datasets. A subscriber system generates a linked dataset that links the subscriber system to a source dataset published by a publisher system. The subscriber system queries the linked dataset. Queries to the linked dataset are redirected to the source dataset. The subscriber system manages access control to the linked dataset instead of the publisher system managing access control for the subscriber system directly to the source dataset. The source dataset does not need to be copied to the subscriber system. From the perspective of the subscriber system, changes to the source dataset appear instantly, as subscribers may query the source dataset through the linked dataset without waiting for copies of the source dataset to propagate.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
