| 8. A computer-readable storage medium tangibly embodying a program of instruction executable by a computer for performing
steps to provide an interface for managing peer-to-peer graphs, comprising:
receiving from the application program a record management call having a plurality of call parameters, the record management
call selected from a group consisting of:
an add record call having the plurality of call parameters comprising an add record graph handle, a pointer to record data,
and a pointer to a record identification that uniquely identifies a record in a graph;
an update record call having the plurality of call parameters comprising an update record graph handle and a pointer to new
data to associate with a record to update;
a delete record call having the plurality of call parameters comprising a delete record graph handle, a pointer to a record
identification of a record to delete, and an indication of whether the record to delete is in a local database;
a get record call having the plurality of call parameters comprising a get record graph handle, a pointer to a record identification
of a record to retrieve, and a pointer to the retrieved record;
an enumerate records call having the plurality of call parameters comprising an enumerate records graph handle, a pointer
to a type of record over which to iterate, a pointer to a peer identification for which records are to be iterated, and a
handle to the iteration;
a search records call having the plurality of call parameters comprising a search records graph handle, an XML string describing
a query, and an enumeration handle;
a validate deferred records call having the plurality of call parameters comprising a validate deferred records graph handle,
a count of records in an array of record identifications that should be re-validated, and the array of record identifications
that should be re-validated;
parsing the record management call to retrieve the plurality of call parameters; and
returning to the application program a value indicative of the success/failure of the record management call.
