Linked Value Replication
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A network system, comprising:
- a first computer configured to maintain an object having an attribute comprised of individual linked values, each linked value having conflict-resolution data;
a second computer configured to replicate the object to generate a replica object and maintain the replica object; and
the second computer further configured to resolve a replication conflict between a linked value of the attribute in the object and the linked value of the attribute in the replica object, the replication conflict being resolved with the conflict-resolution data associated with the linked values.

Abstract
A network computer maintains a directory of objects having multi-valued attributes. The attributes are comprised of individual linked values having conflict-resolution data that indicates a change to an object at an attribute-value level. A second network computer stores a replica of the directory in which a replica of the objects is maintained. The computers replicate the objects in the directories and update the individual linked values of the attributes. Replication conflicts are identified and resolved with the conflict-resolution data at the attribute-value level of the objects.

18. A state-based replication system, comprising:
-
an object having an attribute comprised of values, individual values having indicators to indicate a change to a value of the attribute;
a computing device configured to replicate the object and, with the indicators, identify a change to a value of the attribute. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
