ABSTRACT:
A method of and tool for resource creation in a distributed computing environment uses a variety of resources which may be located at locations distributed throughout the environment. New resources may be created in this distributed environment. One example of a new resource that may be created is a resource that integrates previously available but heterogeneous resources as to provide new functionality. A method of resource creation is provided using a system including a plurality of sets of one or more resources, each set of resources being associated with a respective representation, the method including receiving the respective representation of each set of resources; transforming the respective representation of each set of resources into a common representation; populating a store with the common representation of each set of resources; permitting the association of component ones of the resources in their common representation to define a new resource; and creating the new resource from the correspondingly associated respective representations of the component resources.
