Abstract
An approach is provided for managing split and merge operations for information spaces with respect to their information content.
Claims22
A method for merging a plurality of information spaces in an information system, comprising:
- retrieving the one or more information spaces that are represented, respectively, by a plurality of graphs, the information spaces having a plurality of subscribed agents one or more graphs, wherein the one or more graphs are a model of information implemented in web resources;
- receiving a at least one request to merge the information spaces into a new information space generate one or more new information spaces represented by one or more new graphs based, at least in part, on the one or more information spaces;
- determining to unify histories of the information spaces for the new information space, the histories relating to interactions, transitions, or a combination thereof of the information spaces with one another;
- when an information space of the information spaces is determined to have a portion of history about other information spaces of the information spaces, removing the history portion that the information space has about the other information spaces;
- determining one or more broken links of the one or more graphs;
- identifying one or more nodes of the one or more graphs that are to be grounded;
- grounding the one or more graphs based, at least in part, on the one or more nodes;
- removing one or more portions from at least one history associated with the one or more graphs that are also included in at least one other history associated with the one or more graphs;
- retrieving one or more rules corresponding to the one or more information spaces;
- and
- generating a resultant set of rules one or more new rules for the one or more new information space spaces based, at least in part, on resolving inconsistencies of the retrieved one or more rules;
- and
- determining to update subscription information for the respective agents and the new information space.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,;
- retrieve a plurality of one or more information spaces of an information system that are represented, respectively, by a plurality of one or more graphs for the new information space, the information spaces having a plurality of subscribed agents, wherein the one or more graphs are a model of information implemented in web resources;
- receive a at least one request to merge the information spaces into a new information space generate one or more new information spaces represented by one or more new graphs based, at least in part, on the one or more information spaces,;
- determine to unify histories of the information spaces for the new information space, the histories relating to interactions, transitions, or a combination thereof of the information spaces with one another,
- when an information space of the information spaces is determined to have a portion of history about other information spaces of the information spaces, remove the history portion that the information space has about the other information spaces,
- determine one or more broken links of the one or more graphs;
- identifying one or more nodes of the one or more graphs that are to be grounded;
- ground the one or more graphs based, at least in part, on the one or more nodes;
- remove one or more portions from at least one history associated with the one or more graphs that are also included in at least one other history associated with the one or more graphs,;
- retrieve one or more rules corresponding to the one or more information spaces, and generate a resultant set of one or more new rules for the one or more new information space spaces based, at least in part, on resolving inconsistencies of the retrieved one or more rules, and
- determine to update subscription information for the respective agents and the new information space.
