Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Data stored on a storage medium can be referenced by multiple independently addressable active symbolic links, with each active symbolic link representing the data through a different transformation. The active symbolic links can be in the form of file system objects, such as files or directories. A single active symbolic link can reference the data stored in multiple collections, or, conversely, a subset of data from a single collection. Active symbolic links can be automatically created for common data transformations. Searching across active symbolic links referencing encrypted data can be performed by multiple protection-specific search engines, or a single search engine that can generate a protection-level aware search index.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. One or more computer-readable memory comprising computer-executable instructions for implementing active symbolic links, the computer-executable instructions directed to steps comprising: presenting a first file system object that represents a first set of data stored on a storage medium, the first file system object comprising a hard link to the first set of data; presenting a second file system object that represents a second set of data, the second file system ob…
