System and method for an immutable identification scheme in a large-scale computer system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented immutable identification scheme tangibly stored on a computer-readable storage medium for use with an asset catalog and an extremely large scale computer system having an associated storage architecture, the identification scheme comprising:
- a plurality of identifiers to reference, locate, and/or access a plurality of assets and/or a plurality of asset catalog entries stored in the asset catalog,wherein the identification scheme enables the asset catalog and/or the large scale computer system to be scalable essentially without limitation while maintaining asset storage and retrieval flexibility and substantially obsolescence-proof survivability of assets.

Abstract
Systems and/or methods for storing and/or retrieving assets in connection with an extremely large scale computer storage system are provided. An asset catalog may comprise a plurality of asset catalog entries stored according to at least one schema and corresponding to a plurality of assets. A storage architecture may be capable of storing the plurality of assets, with the storage architecture comprising a storage locator and a federator. An item identification scheme may be capable of providing identifiers to reference, locate, and/or access said assets and/or said asset catalog entries stored in the asset catalog in the storage architecture. The computer storage system may be scalable essentially without limitation while maintaining asset storage and retrieval flexibility and substantially obsolescence-proof survivability of assets.
