Method and device for managing unstructured data
First Claim
1. A method in a networked computing system for a user to manage unstructured data, comprising:
- providing a portion of data within a client in the networked computing system;
creating a profile associated with the portion of data, the profile comprising a first tag, and a user identifier;
transmitting the portion of data and the profile from the client to a server in the networked computing system;
automatically storing the portion of data and the first tag into a data structure on the server in response to receipt of the portion of data and the profile by the server;
updating the data structure in response to the user altering the first tag; and
identifying the portion of data in response to a query by the user seeking data associated with the first tag.

Abstract
Methods and systems for managing unstructured data. Embodiments involve providing a portion of data within a client in the networked computing system. A profile is created that is associated with the portion of data, the profile having at least a first tag and a user identifier. The portion of data and the profile are transmitted from the client to a server in the networked computing system. The portion of data, for example, a file, and the first tag are automatically stored into a data structure, such as a file and an associated database, on the server in response to receipt of the portion of data and the profile by the server. The data structure is subsequently identified in response to a query by the user seeking data associated with the first tag.

9. A networked computing system for a user to manage unstructured data, the system comprising:
-
a client configured to provide a portion of data, and to associate the portion of data with a profile, the profile comprising a first tag, and a user identifier; and a server communicatively coupled to the client, the server configured to receive the portion of data and the profile from the client, and to automatically store the portion of data and the first tag into a data structure on the server in response to receipt of the portion of data and the profile by the server, the server further configured to update the data structure in response to the user altering the first tag, and to identify the portion of data in response to a query by the user seeking data associated with the first tag. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A networked computing system for a user to manage unstructured data, the system comprising:
-
means for providing a portion of data within a client of the networked computing system; means for creating a profile associated with the portion of data, the profile comprising a first tag and a user identifier; means for transmitting the portion of data and the profile from the client to a server in the networked computing system; means for automatically storing the portion of data and the first tag into a data structure on the server in response to receipt of the portion of data and the profile by the server; means for updating the data structure in response to the user altering the first tag; and means for identifying the portion of data in response to a query by the user seeking data associated with the first tag. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for managing unstructured data, the computer-executable instructions performing steps comprising:
-
providing a portion of data within a client in a networked computing system; creating a profile associated with the portion of data, the profile comprising a first tag, a category label, a library label, and a user identifier; transmitting the portion of data and the profile from the client to a server in the networked computing system; automatically storing the portion of data and the first tag into a data structure on the server in response to receipt of the portion of data and the profile by the server; updating the data structure in response to the user altering the first tag; and identifying the portion of data in response to a query by the user seeking data associated with the first tag.
