Managing data flow between networked resource nodes in the social web

摘要

A resource management node (1300) that manages a plurality of resource nodes (1330) connected to at least one network (1380) is disclosed. The resource management node (1300) includes a system entity database (1304), a dialog flow database (1308), and a dialog execution engine (1312). The system entity database (1304) includes information identifying a communication address for the resource node (1330) and associated metadata identifying the capability of the resource node (1330). The interaction flow database (1308) includes information that defines the allowed data flows among the identified ones of the resource nodes (1330) and associated trigger criteria that define when the identified ones of the data flows are executed. including. The dialog execution engine (1312) determines that one of the trigger criteria defined by the dialog flow database (1308) is satisfied, and the associated data between the identified ones of the resource nodes (1330). It is configured to respond by establishing a flow. A related method for managing a plurality of resource nodes (1330) connected to at least one network (1380) is disclosed. [Selection] Figure 13
