Abstract
A system is disclosed that provides network resource access to applications and/or services based on a purpose or intent. Network resources may be assigned one or more purpose identifiers that indicate the network resource can handle a defined type of data transfer and/or use. Applications request connections based on the purpose required for the connections by including a corresponding purpose identifier in the request. In response to the request, the applications receive connection profiles which abstract the specific configurations for connection to the network resources. The applications connect to the network resources via the connection profiles but without knowledge of the configuration data.
