1. A computer-implemented method of classifying objects, comprising:

  • providing a set of user-configurable services from a classification pipeline server machine to a plurality of filesystem client machines across a network via an interface for a classification pipeline wherein said classification pipeline comprises a plurality of processing layers, each of the plurality of layers operable to extract a different type of information;

    receiving at said classification pipeline server machine through said interface for said classification pipeline a request from a filesystem client machine to obtain information on an object in a filesystem;

    obtaining or extracting metadata on or about said object;

    tagging or classifying said object according to a set of classification rules expressed across said metadata;

    formulating a response at said classification pipeline server machine, wherein said response comprises said metadata, data contained by said object, a classification of said object, tagged entities found within content of said object, or a combination thereof; and

    communicating said response from said classification pipeline server machine to said filesystem client machine.
