More Information
Summary:The disclosure relates in general to a method for searching for items using a request broker, wherein the method includes receiving a user request for an item comprising property values of local system properties, and searching within the local system for items in compliance with the user request. To enable a larger search, the method, in the event that no such item is found in the local system, may map the properties and property values of the user request into a standardized data structure of a search request, and may provide the search request to a request broker. The request broker may then provide the search request to third-party systems for further searching.
