Claims15
A system to associate information with a file comprising:
- memory;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more modules stored in memory and configured for execution by the one or more processors, the modules comprising:
- a unique identifier determination module configured to determine an unique identifier of a file;
- an index management module configure to lookup a unique identifier;
- a tag generator configured to generate a tag based on a filename;
- and
- a tagging module configured to associate said tag with said file.
A method for associating information with a file comprising:
- at one or more systems including one or more processors and memory:
- determining a unique identifier of a file;
- in response not determining said unique identifier, generate a tag based on a filename of said file;
- associating said tag with said file to generate said unique identifier;
- and
- updating an index with said unique identifier.
A method for associating information with a file comprising:
- at one or more systems including one or more processors and memory:
- receiving a file with a unique identifier;
- searching an index for said unique identifier;
- and
- retrieving associated information based on said unique identifier.
