Abstract
A network resource communication system facilitates communication over a network between network terminals and network resources, and comprises a network resource driver, a driver administrator, and a data transmitter. The network resource driver facilitates communication of source data between the network terminals and one of the network resources, and includes a driver input for receiving the source data and a driver output for providing a translation of the source data in accordance with the network resource. The driver administrator is in communication with a resource registry, and includes resource records associated with the network resources. The resource records define at least a resource type for each network resource, and the driver administrator is configured to configure the network resource driver in accordance with the resource record associated with the network resource. The data transmitter is in communication with the driver output for transmitting the translated data to the network resource.
