摘要： Associative management of distributed multimedia assets and associated resources using multi-domain agent-based communication between heterogeneous peers is achieved using an Asset/Resource Management (ARM) platform architecture that has an ARM Framework that is used by Asset Management Agents. The ARM Framework includes an ARM Infrastructure which is a system of protocols and libraries from which communities of agents that are grouped in logical Agent Domains are built. The agents communicate via the KQML language embedded within TCP/IP messages, advertise their capabilities and cooperate together to perform meaningful work. An XML-based language is used to embed “content” within the KQML language, providing a self-describing data representation using various character sets. The ARM Framework includes system agents including in each Agent Domain a Resolver for keeping track of asset logical locations, an Agent Name Server (ANS) for keeping track of security access to the assets, and the “Yellow Pages” containing the Advertised System Knowledge (ASK) agent for keeping track of the capabilities of the Asset Management Agents.

摘要翻译： 使用具有由资产管理代理使用的ARM框架的资产/资源管理（ARM）平台架构实现了使用异构对等体之间的基于多域代理的通信的分布式多媒体资产和相关资源的关联管理。 ARM框架包括一个ARM基础架构，它是一个协议和库的系统，构建了分组在逻辑代理域中的代理团体。 代理人通过嵌入在TCP / IP消息中的KQML语言进行通信，宣传他们的能力，并且携手合作，进行有意义的工作。 使用基于XML的语言将“内容”嵌入到KQML语言中，使用各种字符集提供自描述数据表示。 ARM框架包括系统代理，包括每个代理域中的一个用于跟踪资产逻辑位置的解析器，用于跟踪资产安全访问的代理名称服务器（ANS）和包含广告系统知识的“黄页”（ ASK）代理，用于跟踪资产管理代理的能力。
