Abstract
Provided herein is a name service that includes published data that is associated with one or more duration entities and one or more modification entities, enabling the name service to more efficiently manage access to published data. To publish data, a publishing client transmits a publication request to a name service. The publication request may specify a modification entity. The name service creates at least one name entry that associates the published data with the modification entity. There are several types of requests to modify data that a name service will honor only when they originate from a modification entity.
