Patent Images
1. A method for resource-to-resource metadata association, the method comprising:
- identifying a source resource;
identifying an existing destination resource;
identifying a type of at least one of the source and destination resources;
selecting, based on the type, a transform for mapping at least one data value associated with the source resource to the destination resource as metadata; and
associating, based on the transform, a data value associated with the source resource with the destination resource as metadata;
wherein the metadata is independent of an association between the destination resource and a file system for storing the destination resource.

Abstract
The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for resource-to-resource metadata association. According to one method, a source resource and a destination resource are identified. A type of at least one of the source and destination resources is identified and used to select a transform for mapping data values associated with the resource to the destination resource as metadata. Based on the transform, at least one of the data values associated with the source resource is associated with a destination resource as metadata.

- 21. The method of claim 21 wherein the data value associated with the source resource comprises a custom data value defined by a user.
-
24. A method for resource-to-resource metadata association, the method comprising:
-
presenting a user with a menu of data items extracted from a source resource;
presenting the user with a menu of metadata fields associated with a destination resource;
monitoring user input for association between a data item associated with the source resource and a metadata field associated with the destination resource; and
in response to detecting the user input, associating the data item from the source resource with the metadata field associated with the destination resource.

25. A system for resource-to-resource metadata association, the system comprising:
-
a transformer for applying a transform to map data from a first resource to a destination resource as metadata; and
a metadata hub for identifying at least one of a source and a destination resource type, for selecting the transform based on the at least one type, for invoking the transformer to map the data from the source resource to the destination resource as metadata, and for associating the data from the source resource to the destination resource as metadata, wherein the metadata is independent of an association between the destination resource and a file system for storing the destination resource. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

43. A system for resource-to-resource metadata association, the system comprising:
-
means for identifying a source resource;
means for identifying an existing destination resource;
means for identifying a type of at least one of the source and destination resources;
means for selecting, based on the type, a transform for mapping at least one data value associated with the source resource to the destination resource as metadata; and
means for associating, based on the transform, a data value associated with the source resource to the destination resource as metadata;
wherein the metadata is independent of an association between the destination resource and a file system for storing the destination resource.
