Abstract: A method for management of resources within a representational state transfer architecture comprising a plurality of resources, the method comprising: accessing a persisted collection resource, the persisted collection resource comprising a collection query with at least one query parameter defining a collection of resources, such as a SPARQL query with a WHERE clause; and processing the collection query with respect to the resources within the computer system to generate a list of resources associated with the at least one query parameter.

Abstract: A method of processing a message by a message server 2 (e.g. a stock quote decision making system) which comprises a query store 2d for storing query requests, value data for the query requests, and response time data for the query requests. The method comprises the steps of receiving a message, determining a query request from the message, and sending the query request to a query server 4a, 5a. A timeout period is determined from the response time data for the query request stored in the query store. In the case that no response to the query request is received within the timeout period, a value is determined from the value data for the query request stored in the query store. Alternatively, in the case that a response to the query request is received within the timeout period, a value is determined from the response, value data for the value is stored in the query store, and response time data for the period the response took to be received is stored in the query store. An action in response to the message is then determined using the value data.

Abstract: A method of operating a network of connected nodes comprises the steps of maintaining a trust value for each node in the network, maintaining one or more attributes for each node in the network, each attribute comprising a value and a respective confidence level, and performing a validation of a specific attribute of a specific node. The validation comprises the steps of querying nodes S1, S2 connected to the specific node for specific attribute values for the specific node, creating a results set S3 from the returned attribute values from the connected nodes and the trust values of the connected nodes, and processing the results set S4 according to a predefined algorithm to determine a new value and/or a new confidence level for the specific attribute of the specific node. The method provides a distributed validation of a nodes attribute, for example, by connected nodes, e.g. friends in a social network. Age is one example of the validated attribute wherein for some embodiments a high degree of confidence in the age value is required e.g. to provide access for the node to age-restricted services/information. The trust values of the nodes may be updated S5 in response to the returned attribute values e.g. in response to conflicting results indicating a node(s) providing bogus results compared to results supplied from nodes with high reliability/trust levels.
