Abstract
Systems and methods for managing data, such as metadata. In one exemplary method, metadata from files created by several different software applications are captured, and the captured metadata is searched. The type of information in metadata for one type of file differs from the type of information in metadata for another type of file. Other methods are described and data processing systems and machine readable media are also described.
Claims1
A machine readable medium containing executable program instructions for causing a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- obtaining and storing metadata for a first file created by a first software application;
- exporting the metadata for the first file into a form readable by the first software application.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
