  • Publication number: 20090240737
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an appliance, a process and a computer programme product for the processing of unstructured or semi-structured digital data in a file system. In order to create an appliance, a process and a computer programme product which allow simple, reliable, highperformance and purpose oriented management of every manner of digital, stored, unstructured data, it is proposed that, it is functionally extended by providing a framework for further external logic to be inserted in order to modify the filesystem's behaviour and/or a structure is imposed onto unstructured or semi-structured data in real time by enhancing existing namespace semantics and/or metadata and data are processed independently by physically and logically separating namespace and block handlers.

  • Publication number: 20060129745
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an appliance, a process and a computer program product for the processing of unstructured or semi-structured digital data in a file system. In order to create an appliance, a process and a computer program product which allow simple, reliable, high-performance and purpose oriented management of every manner of digital, stored, unstructured data, it is proposed that, when accessing data, logical access be carried out jointly with physical access and, when doing so, a particularly transparent, common access mechanism be implemented for both types of access.
