Methods, Systems, And Computer Program Products For Maintaining Consistency Between Non-Geospatial And Geospatial Network Directory Systems
First Claim
1. A method for maintaining consistency between non-geospatial and geospatial network directory systems, the method comprising:
- updating, by a first network directory service representing a first domain in a first domain space, a first record associating first location information and a first network identifier, the first location information identifying a geospatial location associated with a node identified by the first network identifier;
generating a message including change information based on the updating, wherein the message identifies a second record identifying the node at a second network directory service representing a geospatial domain in a second domain space, the geospatial domain identifying a geospatial region at least partially including the geospatial location; and
sending the generated message to the second network directory service for updating the second record,wherein at least one of the preceding actions is performed on at least one electronic hardware component.

Abstract
Maintaining consistency between non-geospatial and geospatial directory systems is described. A directory service, representing a domain in a domain space, updates a record associating location information identifying a location with a network identifier of a node and sends a message to a second directory service representing a second domain identifying a region at least partially including the location, in a geospatial domain space, for updating a record identifying the node at the second directory service. In another aspect, a directory service, representing a geospatial domain identifying a region in a geospatial domain space, updates a record associating a geospatial identifier identifying a geospatial location at least partially included in the region with a network identifier of a node and sends a message to a second directory service representing a second domain in a second domain space for updating a record identifying the node at the second directory service.
