Abstract:
1. A method of using at least one computer to effect access to information, comprising: collecting information regarding an entity (entity information), wherein the entity is represented by the entity information (EREI); generating an unique, persistently accessible, and universal name identifier (UPUNI) for the EREI; storing the collected entity information in a database record in a database, wherein the database record storing the collected entity information is keyed by the generated UPUNI, wherein the storage of the entity information occurs before effecting registration of the UPUNI in one phase of a multi-phase registration commitment; generating validation information for the EREI; transmitting validation information to an access device of the EREI, if an UPUNI registration agency (UPUNI-REG) generated the validation information; deleting the validation information from the UPUNI-REG upon transmitting the validation information, if the UPUNI-REG generated the validation information; transmitting validation information to the UPUNI-REG, if another device generated the validation information; storing the generated validation information in a database record in a database, wherein the database record storing the generated validation information is keyed by the generated UPUNI, wherein the storage of the validation information occurs before effecting registration of the UPUNI in one phase of a multi-phase registration commitment; registering a resolvable association between an UPUNI and reference to related information, wherein registration is effected in a database to associate and resolve UPUNIs and references to related information (UPUNI-RES), wherein the reference to related information is entered in a database record keyed by the generated UPUNI, wherein the registration of the UPUNI in the UPUNI-RES is a phase of a multi-phase registration commitment that occurs after effecting the storage of the related information, wherein in the entity information is related information, and wherein the validation information is related information.
