Optimizing distributed and hybrid queries incorporating trust measures

摘要

A rules engine assigns a set of appropriateness rules to a particular data collection. The set of appropriateness rules describes an optimum usage for the particular data collection based on a source of the particular data collection and a type of activity that is deemed best suited to utilize the particular data collection. In response to determining that a requesting computer is implementing an activity that matches the particular set of appropriateness rules, a database controller is directed to transmit the particular data collection to the requesting computer.
