EXTENDING METADATA-DRIVEN CAPABILITIES IN A METADATA-CENTRIC FILESYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806773 titled 'EXTENDING METADATA-DRIVEN CAPABILITIES IN A METADATA-CENTRIC FILESYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for managing data by declaring a requirement for the data, defining metadata that represents the requirement, associating the requirement with the data, and performing filesystem operations based on the metadata. The method is performed by an administrator using a centralized datastore with a metadata repository.

  • The method involves declaring a management requirement for a collection of data.
  • Metadata is defined to represent the requirement.
  • The requirement is associated with the data.
  • Filesystem operations are performed on the data based on the metadata.
  • An administrator operates in a centralized datastore with a metadata repository.
  • The defined metadata is stored in the metadata repository.

Potential Applications

  • Data management in large organizations or enterprises.
  • Filesystem operations automation based on metadata.
  • Centralized data management systems.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient management of data based on specific requirements.
  • Streamlining filesystem operations through metadata association.
  • Centralized administration and control of data.

Benefits

  • Improved organization and management of data.
  • Automation of filesystem operations based on metadata.
  • Enhanced efficiency and productivity in data management.
  • Centralized control and administration of data.


Original Abstract Submitted

One example method includes declaring a management requirement for a collection of data, defining metadata that embodies the requirement, associating the management requirement with the collection of data, and performing a filesystem operation, with respect to the collection of data, based on the metadata. The declaring and defining operations may be performed by an administrator operating in a centralized datastore that includes a metadata repository, and the defined metadata may be stored in the metadata repository.
