Method and apparatus for providing reactive authorization
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, via a processor, a request for access to at least one semantic network resource from a requesting entity,wherein an owner entity manages access to the semantic network resource;
causing, via the processor, a transmission of a notification to the requesting entity to initiate a creation of an authorization proxy entity, wherein the authorization proxy entity acts between the at least one semantic network resource and the requesting entity, wherein a decision by the owner entity to allow or deny access to the semantic network resource is determined, based on the authorization proxy entity, regarding whether the requesting entity should be linked to or discarded from a semantic graph of the at least one semantic resource, and wherein the authorization proxy entity has an access policy that determines a right to access the authorization proxy entity; and
causing, via the processor, an initiation of a deletion of the authorization proxy entity after a result of the decision is determined.

Abstract
An approach is provided for providing reactive authorization for accessing a semantic network resource. An access application of a resource owner entity detects an authorization proxy entity acting between at least a semantic network resource and a requesting entity that requests access to the semantic network resource. The access application determines to cause, at least in part, actions that result in transmission of a query for whether to accept the requesting entity to an owner entity of the semantic network resource.

5. The method of 1, further comprising:
dropping a link between the authorization proxy entity and the semantic network resource after a predetermined time has passed since the transmission of the request.
-
6. The method of 4, further comprising:
-
retrieving semantic information of the requesting entity; and causing, at least in part, a presentation of the semantic information to the owner entity.

8. A method comprising:
-
causing, via a processor, a transmission of a request for accessing a semantic network resource, wherein an owner entity manages access to the semantic network resource; receiving, via a processor, a transmission of a notification which initiates a generation of an authorization proxy entity by an access application after the request is issued, wherein the authorization proxy entity determines a decision by the owner entity to allow or deny access to the semantic network resource, regarding whether a requesting entity should be linked to or discarded from a semantic graph of the at least one semantic resource, and has an access policy that determines a right to access the authorization proxy entity; and causing, at least in part, a deletion of the authorization proxy entity after a result of the decision is determined. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, receive, via a processor, a request for access to at least one semantic network resource from a requesting entity, wherein an owner entity manages access to the semantic network resource; cause, via the processor, a transmission of a notification to the requesting entity to initiate a creation of an authorization proxy entity, wherein the authorization proxy entity acts between the at least one semantic network resource and the requesting entity, wherein a decision by the owner entity to allow or deny access to the semantic network resource is determined, based on the authorization proxy entity, regarding whether the requesting entity should be linked to or discarded from a semantic graph of the at least one semantic resource, and wherein the authorization proxy entity has an access policy that determines a right to access the authorization proxy entity; and cause, via the processor, an initiation of a deletion of the authorization proxy entity after a result of the decision is determined. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, cause, via a processor, a transmission of a request for accessing a semantic network resource, wherein an owner entity manages access to the semantic network resource; receive, via a processor, a transmission of a notification which initiates a generation of an authorization proxy entity by an access application after the request is issued, wherein the authorization proxy entity determines a decision by the owner entity to allow or deny access to the semantic network resource, regarding whether a requesting entity should be linked to or discarded from a semantic graph of the at least one semantic resource, and has an access policy that determines a right to access the authorization proxy entity; and cause, at least in part, a deletion of the authorization proxy entity after a result of the decision is determined. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
