Abstract
Provided is a method, system, and program for storing data in a data store, a first file in a first file format is received including essence, metadata objects providing information on the essence, and a unique identifier assigned to the essence. The essence is extracted from the file and stored in the data store. The metadata is extracted from each metadata object in the first file and stored in the data store in a second file format. The extracted metadata and essence in the data store are accessible using the unique identifier assigned to the essence.
Claims48
A method for storing data in a data store, comprising:
- receiving a first file in a first file format including essence, metadata objects providing information on the essence, and a unique identifier assigned to the essence;
- extracting the essence from the file;
- storing the essence in the data store;
- extracting metadata from each metadata object in the first file;
- and
- storing the extracted metadata in the data store in a second file format, wherein the extracted metadata and essence in the data store are accessible using the unique identifier assigned to the essence.
A system for storing data, comprising:
- a data store;
- means for receiving a first file in a first file format including essence, metadata objects providing information on the essence, and a unique identifier assigned to the essence;
- means for extracting the essence from the file;
- means for storing the essence in the data store;
- means for extracting metadata from each metadata object in the first file;
- and
- storing the extracted metadata in the data store in a second file format, wherein the extracted metadata and essence in the data store are accessible using the unique identifier assigned to the essence.
An article of manufacture including code for storing data in a data store, wherein the code is capable of causing operations to be performed comprising:
- receiving a first file in a first file format including essence, metadata objects providing information on the essence, and a unique identifier assigned to the essence;
- extracting the essence from the file;
- storing the essence in the data store;
- extracting metadata from each metadata object in the first file;
- and
- storing the extracted metadata in the data store in a second file format, wherein the extracted metadata and essence in the data store are accessible using the unique identifier assigned to the essence.
