First Claim
1. A digital storage device including a content directory service (CDS) with a dynamic, hierarchical structure of digital storage containers, each capable of storing digital data objects;
- each object including an object description and an object content or object content locator, such as a URL;
at least one of the containers being a predetermined input container for receiving a digital data object;
in response to receiving a digital data object in the predetermined input container, the device being arranged to determine a container in the CDS based on the object description and/or object content of the received object, to move the received object to the determined container and to provide feedback to a human operator of the device on the determined container.

Abstract
A system 100 includes a plurality of devices 150, 160, 162, 164, 166 that can communicate via a network (110). The server device 150 includes a content directory service (hereinafter “CDS”) with a dynamic, hierarchical structure of containers, each capable of storing objects; each object including an object description and an object content or object content locator, such as a URL. The CDS includes a predetermined upload container. The other devices in the system can make an object available via the CDS to devices in the system by uploading the object to the predetermined container. The server determines for an uploaded object a container in the CDS based on the object description and/or object content, and moves the uploaded object to the determined container.
