Systems and methods for viewing and accessing data using tagging

A method of providing a data view, the method comprising:

• receiving a view request for a subset of data in a data storage system, the view request comprising:
• a membership specification defining the subset of data to be included in the view;
• and
• a structure specification defining a structure by which the view is to be provided;
• identifying the subset of data by comparing the membership specification to data in the data storage system;
• identifying the structure of the view;
• organizing the subset of data in accordance with the structure to construct the view such that the view is mapped to the data storage system;
• and
• presenting the view.

A data handling system, comprising:

• a data storage device storing data as non-transitory computer readable media;
• a membership determining layer for determining a subset of the data identified in a view request;
• a structure determining layer for determining an organization structure for the subset of the data, as identified in the view request;
• a translation layer for mapping the view to the subset of the data;
• and
• a presentation layer for presenting the view of the subset of the data according to the structure.
