ABSTRACT:
When the name of a resource is inputted to a given context holder, a name analysis unit analyzes the name and a name translation unit converts it into first or second resource implementation representations. A name resolution unit receives the first or second resource implementation representations from each context holder. When the result of conversion is of the second resource implementation representations, the name resolution unit outputs a resource name of a second series or string of resource elements included in the second resource implementation representations to its corresponding context holder. This operation is executed on a chain basis to solve the name. A resource implementation unit outputs a handle for the resource corresponding to the result of name resolution therefrom. A user can obtain access to a virtual resource corresponding to the input name by using the handle. Owing to the above construction, an apparatus for and a method of managing resources can be provided which is capable of embodying a high-flexible distributed system providing name spaces for performing local resource access every users, which reflect preference and intentions for an access method by each individual user.
