Abstract

Systems and methods for controlling the dissemination of data from a repository based on request mechanisms that are transparent to the requestor and the connection conveying the requests. The systems and methods are used by the repository to enforce one or more rule sets that implement varying levels of access privilege created by the repository designer. For each user requesting access to privileged data, the repository uses the systems and methods to manage novel information structures whose purpose is to apply the rule sets to the requestor's session. By incorporating into each request, a set of values herein named a 'forresta' and a 'destination', the systems and methods exercise control over data access, assemblage and presentation. In addition, the systems and methods provide that clients require no enhancements to well-known methods or systems used to facilitate communications with repositories employing this invention.
