Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for determining a set of objects, the objects corresponding to a given case or application of a deletion/retention policy; determining at least one object in the set of objects to be scheduled for deletion, the at least one object being associated with a given state that specifies a deletion and/or retention type and schedule for the at least one object; and scheduling data corresponding to the at least one object for deletion from one or more data sources based at least in part on the deletion and/or retention type and schedule specified in the object state.
Claims10
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform:
- organizing a set of data objects based on attributes associated with the set of data objects;
- determining actions to be performed on the set of the data objects based on states associated with the set of data objects, the states specifying a deletion or retention and a schedule to perform the actions;
- modifying a state of an object based on any two of:
- a type of the object;
- a number of links between the object and one or more other objects;
- metadata associated with the object;
- and
- a conflict flag associated with the object;
- generating a log recording the states of the data objects, wherein the log tracks any modifications to the states;
- identifying the object, in the log, affected by the modifying of the state of the object;
- determining to reclassify the object based on the modification to the state, wherein the reclassification enforces a deletion schedule of the object;
- determining to delete the object and data associated with the object or retain, for a time period, the object and the data associated with the object according to the reclassification of the object;
- and
- deleting the object and the data associated with the object or retaining, for a time period, the object and the data associated with the object according to the determination to delete or retain.

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
- organizing a set of data objects based on attributes associated with the set of data objects;
- determining actions to be performed on the set of the data objects based on states associated with the set of data objects, the states specifying a deletion or retention and a schedule to perform the actions;
- modifying a state of an object based on any two of:
- a type of the object;
- a number of links between the object and one or more other objects;
- metadata associated with the object;
- and
- a conflict flag associated with the object;
- generating a log recording the states of the data objects, wherein the log tracks any modifications to the states;
- identifying the object, in the log, affected by the modifying of the state of the object;
- determining to reclassify the object based on the modification to the state, wherein the reclassification enforces a deletion schedule of the object;
- determining to delete the object and data associated with the object or retain, for a time period, the object and the data associated with the object according to the reclassification of the object;
- and
- deleting the object and the data associated with the object or retaining, for a time period, the object and the data associated with the object according to the determination to delete or retain.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform:
- organizing a set of data objects based on attributes associated with the set of data objects;
- determining actions to be performed on the set of the data objects based on states associated with the set of data objects, the states specifying a deletion or retention and a schedule to perform the actions;
- modifying a state of an object based on any two of:
- a type of the object;
- a number of links between the object and one or more other objects;
- metadata associated with the object;
- and
- a conflict flag associated with the object;
- generating a log recording the states of the data objects, wherein the log tracks any modifications to the states;
- identifying the object, in the log, affected by the modifying of the state of the object;
- determining to reclassify the object based on the modification to the state, wherein the reclassification enforces a deletion schedule of the object;
- determining to delete the object and data associated with the object or retain, for a time period, the object and the data associated with the object according to the reclassification of the object;
- and
- deleting the object and the data associated with the object or retaining, for a time period, the object and the data associated with the object according to the determination to delete or retain.
