Method, System, and Program for Integrating Disjoined but Related Network Components into Collaborative Communities
First Claim
1. A method for integrating disjoined but related network components, the method comprising the steps of:
- sending a data set having a pre-determined format to an integrated collaborator for delivery to at least one receiving member over a network comprising a plurality of integrated collaborators grouped into at least one or more clusters where one or more clusters form a cluster cloud; and
receiving from one of said plurality of integrated collaborators said data set in an acceptable format where, if necessary, at least one integrated collaborator has converted said pre-determined format to said acceptable format whereby the network components communicate with each other and conduct collaborative activities.

Abstract
A system for integrating disjoined but related network components is presented. The system includes a network including a plurality of integrated collaborators where at least one of the integrated collaborators is designated as a head, at least one of integrated collaborators is designated as a parent and at least one of integrated collaborators is designated as a child. The head, parent and child are connected by a plurality of links. The integrated collaborators are grouped into clusters where one or more clusters form a cluster cloud. The integrated collaborators are configured to receive a data set, from a connected member, in a pre-determined format and deliver the data set in an acceptable format to a receiving member over the network. If necessary, at least one integrated collaborator converts the pre-determined format to the acceptable format such that the network components communicate with each other and conduct collaborative activities.

8. A system for integrating disjoined but related network components, the system comprising:
a network comprising a plurality of integrated collaborators where at least one of said plurality of integrated collaborators is designated as a head, at least one of said plurality of integrated collaborators is designated as a parent and at least one of said plurality of integrated collaborators is designated as a child, said head, parent and child being connected by a plurality of links, said plurality of integrated collaborators being grouped into at least one or more clusters where one or more clusters form a cluster cloud where said plurality of links connect said clusters and said cluster clouds, said integrated collaborators configured to receive a data set, from a member connected to a one of said plurality of integrated collaborators, in a pre-determined format and deliver said data set in an acceptable format to at least one receiving member over said network comprising, where, if necessary, at least one integrated collaborator has converted said pre-determined format to said acceptable format such that the network components communicate with each other and conduct collaborative activities. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An address locating method for an integrated collaborative network across multiple domains, the method comprising the steps of:
-
obtaining a first notation; indicating a first addressable identification of an addressable object in a sequence for a destination address of a destination object; if additional addressable objects are required to be traversed in a first domain, indicating said first notation and additional addressable identifications of said addressable objects in said sequence, each of said additional addressable identifications concatenated by said first notation; obtaining a second notation; and if additional addressable objects are required to be traversed in a second domain, indicating said second notation and indicating said additional addressable identifications of said addressable objects in said sequence, each of said additional addressable identifications concatenated by said second notation; indicating said second notation in said sequence; and repeating the steps of obtaining a new notation, indicating said new notation, and indicating said additional addressable identifications of said addressable objects in the said sequence, each of said additional addressable identification concatenated by said new notation, for every domain required to be traversed; indicating said new notation in said sequence; and indicating a addressable identification of said destination address in said sequence completing said sequence for said destination address of said destination object. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
