A method of searching a plurality of content repositories, comprising:
- providing for the representation of the plurality of content repositories as a virtual content repository (VCR);
- searching the VCR for information that satisfies a search expression;
- providing search results;
- and
- wherein the VCR includes a common content model and namespace.
A method of searching a plurality of content repositories, comprising:
- providing for the representation of the plurality of content repositories as a virtual content repository (VCR);
- searching the VCR for information that satisfies a search expression;
- providing search results;
- and
- wherein each one of the plurality of content repositories implements a service provider interface (SPI) compatible with the VCR.
A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor cause a system to:
- provide for the representation of a plurality of content repositories as a virtual content repository (VCR);
- search the VCR for information that satisfies a search expression;
- provide search results;
- and
- wherein each one of the plurality of content repositories implements a service provider interface (SPI) compatible with the VCR.
A computer data signal embodied in a transmission medium, comprising:
- a code segment including instructions to provide for the representation of a plurality of content repositories as a virtual content repository (VCR);
- a code segment including instructions to search the VCR for information that satisfies a search expression;
- a code segment including instructions to provide search results;
- and
- wherein each one of the plurality of content repositories implements a service provider interface (SPI) compatible with the VCR.
