Propagating attributes between entities in correlated namespaces

摘要

Changes to references are propagated between entities in correlated namespaces. A first object in one external namespace refers to a second object in the one external namespace. The first object and the second object have associated central representations in a central namespace. A change to that reference is propagated to a third object in a third namespace by evaluating the associations between the central representations in the central namespace to determine if the third object is associated with one of the central representations, and if so, propagating the change to the reference. A user interface for configuring the flow of the propagations is also described.
