System and Method of Uniformly Classifying Information Objects with Metadata Across Heterogeneous Data Stores
First Claim
1. A computerized method for classifying information objects with metadata across heterogeneous data stores, the method comprising:
- providing a metadata model comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes, at least one of the nodes corresponding to a metadata instance and at least one of the nodes corresponding to a metadata category;
acquiring information related to an information object maintained in a data store;
looking up the metadata model to find one or more metadata instances and metadata categories based on the acquired information related to the information object; and
associating one or more of the found metadata instances and metadata categories with the information object maintained in the data store.

Abstract
Described are a system and method for classifying information objects with metadata across heterogeneous data stores. A metadata model includes a plurality of interconnected nodes. A least one of the nodes corresponds to a metadata instance and at least one of the nodes corresponds to a metadata category. Information related to an information object maintained in a data store is acquired. A look up of the metadata model finds one or more metadata instances and metadata categories based on the acquired information related to the information object. One or more of the found metadata instances and metadata categories are associated with the information object maintained in the data store.
