1. A method for creating a profile for accessing resources across a plurality of nodes in a network, each node associated with a node identifier, at least one resource, and/or at least one capability, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a client at an entity manager, at least one first request to create the profile, said at least one first request comprising the node identifiers;
generating the profile, said profile comprising a list of node identifiers associated with the plurality of nodes, wherein the profile is addressable by a profile identifier;
wherein the at least one first request (1) further comprises an operation or (2) is associated with an operation by default at the entity manager, said method further comprising;
verifying that the nodes are able to support the operation based on the at least one resource and/or the at least one capability associated with the plurality of nodes;
if the nodes are able to support the operation, associating the profile with the operation.

Abstract
A method for creating a profile for accessing or manipulating resources across a plurality of nodes in a network is disclosed. An entity manager receives a request from a client to create a profile, and preferably validates the request. The entity manager generates said profile and the profile is addressable by a profile identifier. A client may use the profile to interact with the resources across the plurality of nodes using the profile identifier.

1. A method for creating a profile for accessing resources across a plurality of nodes in a network, each node associated with a node identifier, at least one resource, and/or at least one capability, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a client at an entity manager, at least one first request to create the profile, said at least one first request comprising the node identifiers; generating the profile, said profile comprising a list of node identifiers associated with the plurality of nodes, wherein the profile is addressable by a profile identifier; wherein the at least one first request (1) further comprises an operation or (2) is associated with an operation by default at the entity manager, said method further comprising; verifying that the nodes are able to support the operation based on the at least one resource and/or the at least one capability associated with the plurality of nodes; if the nodes are able to support the operation, associating the profile with the operation. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
(2) the method further comprises generating the profile identifier, associating the profile identifier with the profile, and transmitting the profile identifier to the client.

14. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of nodes comprises a constrained device, and optionally, at least one of the plurality of nodes is communicably connected to the entity manager over a low power and lossy network.
-
15. The method according to claim 1, further comprising transmitting a first response from the entity manager to the client, said response indicating that the profile has been created at the entity manager.

17. A method for creating a profile for accessing resources across a plurality of nodes in a network, each node associated with a node identifier, at least one resource, and/or at least one capability, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a client at an entity manager, at least one first request to create the profile, said at least one first request comprising the node identifiers; generating the profile, said profile comprising a list of node identifiers associated with the plurality of nodes, wherein the profile is addressable by a profile identifier, wherein the at least one first request to create the profile (1) comprises an operation or (2) is associated with an operation by default, and said operation associated with at least one corresponding request, and said at least one first request further comprises at least one of the following parameters for parameterizing the operation; a first parameter for indicating whether the at least one corresponding request is confirmable or non-confirmable; a second parameter for indicating a number or all of the nodes to which the at least one corresponding request is transmitted; a third parameter for indicating a minimum number or all of the nodes from which a response to the at least one corresponding request must be received before responding to a request to perform the operation.
