Handles have to be fully network-transparent. Handles can be used to address either object or part of an object in the Dinopolis system. As an example single properties of a Node have to be addressable via a handle. Globally unique handles do not only apply to the Dinopolis world but also have to be provided for embedded system access.
Mechanisms have to be implemented to keep the global handle resolution stable.
A Dinopolis Domain Name Service has to be provided to be able to perform an alias mapping for handles. This does not implicitly mean that every system grants access to the others, this is checked by the security manager. It only makes sure that if a Dino Node is accessible with one handle on one system the same handle points to the same Dino Node even when used on another system.
