`
`Data processing (DP) systems, computers,
`
`networks of computers, or the like,
`typically offer users
`and programs various ways to identify the data in the
`systems.
`I.
`‘ Users typically identify data in the data
`
`processing.system by giving the data some form of name.
`For example, a typical operating system (08) on a
`
`computer provides a file system in which data items are
`
`Programs typically
`named by alphanumeric identifiers.
`identify data in the data processing system using a
`location or address.
`.For example, a program may identify
`a record in'a file or database by using a record number
`which serves to locate that record.
`
`In all but the most primitive operating.
`
`systems, users and programs are able to create and use
`
`'collections of named data items,
`
`these collections
`
`themselves being named by identifiers. These named
`
`collections can then,
`
`themselves, be made part of other
`
`named collections.
`
`For example, an 05 may provide
`
`mechanisms to group files (data items)
`
`into directories
`
`(collections). These directories can then,
`
`themselves be
`
`made part of other directories.
`
`A data item may thus be
`
`identified-relative to these nested directories using a
`

`
`

`

`sequence of names, or a so-called pathname, which defines
`
`a path through the directories to a particular data item
`
`(file or directory).
`As another example, a database management
`
`system may group data records (data items)
`
`into tables
`
`and then group these tables into database files
`
`(collections).
`
`The complete address of any data record
`
`can then be specified using the database file name,
`
`the
`
`table name, and the record number of that data record.
`
`10
`
`other examples of identifying data items
`
`include:
`
`identifying files in a network file system,
`
`identifying objects in an objectvoriented database,
`
`identifying images in an image database, and identifying
`articles in a text database.
`

`
`‘
`
`In general,
`
`the terms "data" and "data item" as
`
`20
`
`25
`
`30
`
`used herein refer to sequences of bits.~ Thus a data item
`
`may be the contents of a file, a portion of a file,
`
`a,
`
`page in memory, an object in an object-oriented program,
`a digital message, a digital scanned image, a part of a
`video or audio signal, or any other entity which can be
`represented by a sequence of bits.
`The term "data
`
`processing" herein refers to the processing of data
`items, and is sometimes dependent on the type of data
`
`item being processed.
`
`For example, a data processor for
`
`a digital image may differ from a data processor for an
`
`audio signal.
`
`In all of the prior data processing Systems the
`
`names or identifiers provided to identify data items (the
`
`data items being files, directories, records in the
`
`database, objects in objectworiented programming,
`locations in memory or on a physical device, or the like)
`
`are always defined relative to a specific context.
`
`For
`
`instance,
`
`the file identified by a particular file name
`
`'35
`
`can only be determined when the directory containing the
`file (the context)
`is known.
`The file identified by a
`pathname can be determined only when the file system
`
`(context) is known. Similarly,
`
`the addresses in a
`

`
`

`

`the keys in a database table, or
`process address space,
`domain names on a global computer network such as the
`
`Internet are meaningful only because they are specified
`relative to a context.

`‘
`I
`In prior art systems for identiinng data items
`
`there is no direct relationship between the data names
`and the data item.
`The same data name in two different
`
`contexts may refer to different data items, and two
`
`10
`
`different data names in the same context may refer to the
`same data item.
`
`15
`
`In addition, because there is no correlation
`
`between a data name and the data it refers to,
`
`there is
`
`no a priori way to confirm that a given data item is in
`
`fact the one named by a data name.
`
`For instance,
`
`in a DP
`
`system, if one processor requests that another processor
`deliver a data item with a given data name,
`the‘
`requesting processor cannot,
`in general, verify that the
`
`data delivered is
