1. A method for storing electronic documents, the method comprising:
- defining a plurality of logical storage locations, with each logical storage location corresponding to a predetermined first set of criteria defining one or more data parameters of electronic documents to be stored in the particular logical storage location;
storing electronic documents in the plurality of logical storage locations, wherein each electronic document is stored in a particular logical storage location having a particular corresponding predetermined first set of criteria based on a particular corresponding first set of data parameters associated with the electronic document, and the electronic document is indexed within the logical storage location based on a second set of data parameters associated with the electronic document; and
dynamically modifying the predetermined first set of criteria corresponding to the particular logical storage location after storing one or more electronic documents by segmenting the predetermined first set of criteria into at least a first subset of the predetermined first set of criteria and a second subset of the predetermined first set of criteria, wherein the first subset of the predetermined first set of criteria corresponds to the particular logical storage location and the second subset of the predetermined first set of criteria corresponds to at least one other logical storage location.

Abstract
Techniques for storing electronic documents include defining multiple logical storage locations, with each logical storage location corresponding to a respective first set of data parameters, and storing electronic documents in the logical storage locations. Each electronic document is stored in a logical storage location having a particular corresponding first set of data parameters. The particular corresponding first set of data parameters is associated with the electronic document, and the electronic document is indexed within the logical storage location based on a second set of data parameters.

15. An article comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions for causing one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of electronic documents to be stored; identifying a selected logical storage location for storing a particular one of the plurality of electronic documents, wherein the selected logical storage location is selected from among a plurality of logical storage locations, with each logical storage location having a corresponding predetermined set of criteria associated with one or more parameters of the plurality of electronic documents, and the predetermined set of criteria for the selected logical storage location matches parameters defined in the particular one of the plurality of electronic documents; storing the particular one of the plurality of electronic documents in the selected logical storage location, and dynamically modifying the predetermined set of criteria corresponding to the selected logical storage location after storing the particular one of the plurality of electronic documents by segmenting the predetermined set of criteria into at least a first subset of the predetermined set of criteria and a second subset of the predetermined set of criteria, wherein the first subset of the predetermined set of criteria corresponds to the selected logical storage location and the second subset of the predetermined set of criteria corresponds to at least one other logical storage location among the plurality of logical storage locations. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 25)

20. A document storage system comprising:
-
a plurality of data repositories; and a server operable to store electronic documents in the plurality of data repositories, wherein the server is further operable to; identify one of the plurality of data repositories for storing each electronic document, wherein each data repository corresponds to a predetermined set of criteria, the predetermined set of criteria defining one or more parameters of the electronic documents to be stored in the particular data repository, and wherein the identified data repository for each electronic document is selected based on the predetermined set of criteria corresponding to the identified data repository; and dynamically modify the predetermined set of criteria corresponding to the identified data repository after storing one or more electronic documents by segmenting the predetermined set of criteria into at least a first subset of the predetermined set of criteria and a second subset of the predetermined set of criteria, wherein the first subset of the predetermined set of criteria corresponds to the identified data repository and the second subset of the predetermined set of criteria corresponds to at least one other data repository. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 26)
