Patent ID: 7885945

Claim:
A computer-implemented system comprising: a processor; a schema installation component configured to: receive a public key of a cryptographic key pair; receive an unnamed schema; and install the unnamed schema onto the computer-implemented system based, at least, on a received public key; a naming component configured to: name the unnamed schema based, at least, on the received public key; a hashing component configured to assign a unique name to one or more attributes of the unnamed schema utilizing the public key, wherein the unique name comprises: a first portion that includes the public key; and a second portion that includes a hash value related to an attribute associated with the unique name, and wherein the unique name is 16 bytes, and the first 8 bytes within the 16 bytes includes a hash of the public key for facilitating clustering in a metadata catalog; and a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to implement at least one of the schema installation component, the naming component or the hashing component.
