Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to an information management system ('IMS') which utilizes delegated control (FIG. 1) over a dataset to overcome a number of the problems associated with existing IMSs. Delegated control is the transfer, generally temporary, of at least partial control over the dataset (50) from a delegating system (100) to a delegate system (200). The delegating system has full control of the dataset, but declines to exercise that authority in regard to at least a portion of the dataset while authority over that portion of the dataset is delegated. Thus, any dataset modification request received from a reqestor (300) system that wants to modify the dataset, and is not the delegate or delegator, will be refused.
