Abstract
The present invention provides a system, method, and data structure for packaging assets for processing and distribution over a multi-tiered network. An asset may represent network and/or application components (e.g., data, objects, applications, program modules, etc.) that may be distributed among the various resources of the network. In an embodiment, the package structure includes at least one representation of an asset having a logic/data portion and an asset extended environment portion, and a package extended environment that includes package information associated with at least one asset.
