Abstract
A system and method for storing data objects in a storage device includes storing data objects where the data objects include associated main data and metadata that describes properties of the main data. Associated identifiers of computational procedures that can be applied to the main data are further included. Execution of the computational procedures associated with the data objects is also supported.
