The present invention relates to a method of and tool for resource creation in a distributed computing environment. A variety of resources may be located a t locations distributed throughout the environment. Whilst application program s may be aware of the existence and capabilities of such distributed resources , it has often been the case that the heterogeneity of the resources has limit ed the ability of application programs to capitalise on them. New resources may be created in this distributed environment. One example of a new resource th at may be created is a resource that integrates previously available but heterogeneous resources as to provide new functionality. The invention accordingly provides a method of resource creation; a system comprising a plurality of sets of one or more resources, each set of resources being associated with a respective representation, the method comprising: receivin g 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 se t 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 t he component resources.
