Abstract:
A multi-dimensional information access capability, WorldSpace, within a Global Information Network Architecture (GINA) can create a user-definable environment for managing information access within the GINA object-oriented, software-based modeling environment for the modeling of various data sources and allowing queries and transactions across those sources. The modeling environment is described in itself, and is used to describe the model for information access. GINA WorldSpace allows different users to have different views of data sources depending upon their WorldSpace definition, which controls a user's view of the data source. The WorldSpace definition can use the attributes that makes the user unique and map them through GINA vectors to the characteristics of information to which the user has access. Attributes can include username, roles, language, locale, organization, and/or others. WorldSpace views can also impact the behavior of the data sources.
