Filed:

Jun 28, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/168589

Inventors:

Jason T. Hunter - Redmond WA, US
Simon Skaria - Sammamish WA, US
Kedarnath A. Dubhashi - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 9, 707 3

Abstract:

A system that generates a per user abstraction of a store from a connection point. Filtering a view set of a hierarchically secured containment hierarchy based on the access permissions of the principal is one of the novel features of the invention. The invention can offer a collection of primitives that can operate on this aggregation that span multiple container hierarchies with potentially heterogeneous security descriptors. The model can reduce the necessity to traverse the container hierarchy to discover all the accessible items in a domain.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707102, 707100, 707101, 707103 R

Abstract:

The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates adapting at least two disparate file systems. A file system adapter can provide uniformity and/or seamless integration between a first file system and a second file system. The file system adapter can employ a file-backed item that is enriched by a file to provide at least one of a property to an item and a file stream associated with the item. The file-backed item can allow a manipulation by at least one of an API for the first file system and an API for the second file system.

International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

707103, 713168

Abstract:

A system and/or methodology that enables schema packaging, distribution and availability. Aspects of the invention employ signing technology to facilitate secure definition of a schema package. The system and/or methodology can also include the schema package as a resource in a client-side assembly thereby guaranteeing that exactly the same infrastructure used to discover the assembly will be leverageable in discovery of the schema package(s). Other aspects can include the schema package as a satellite assemble or as a separate file. In these scenarios, the invention can facilitate constructing and distributing the schema package and information necessary to enable the client to interact with the store with regard to uninstalled schemas.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707100, 707102

Abstract:

The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates mapping a data base model to a database object. A type storage system can utilize a storage mapping of a file storage data model. The mapping can describe the database object created based at least in part upon a schema and how instances of the type described in the schema are stored and/or accessed. Furthermore, a query can be provided to find at least one of an item, a document, and/or a contact that satisfy at least one criterion. The type storage system can receive data, wherein the data is at least one of a schema, a data model, a type, a query, and query criteria via an interface to provide the storing and querying. Additionally, the type storage system can generate a view that exposes at least one instance of the type.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707203, 707101, 707102, 707103 Y, 717165

Abstract:

Described is a collection of type versions (objects) associated with an application program that lists only those type versions that can be bound to an application program. This ensures stability and security by preventing other type versions from being bound to the application program, unless overridden by policy. A type binding process only materializes objects for stored types that correspond to matching type versions in the application's known types collection. The type may be loaded from a local folder, or from a global cache, providing installation flexibility. A data container accessible to the application may be populated with data for fields defined on a type in the collection having a version not bound to the application program, and for fields of a related type not maintained in the collection. Default values are used to populate any unpopulated fields when policy specifies that a different type version be used.

International Classification:

G06F 12/00
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707203

Abstract:

Systems and methodologies that facilitate evolving a data model via a combination of an explicit logical model definition, logical model changes, functional units, an explicit/implicit physical model and physical model changes, to derive a data model transformation are presented. Such an arrangement can provide for a rich set of transformations, which can be automatically applied to a data model instantiation. The subject invention facilitates leveraging a common set of code in data model instantiation evolution, by defining the set of transformations across an arbitrary data model.

US Classification:

707687, 707690, 707694, 707695

Abstract:

Systems and methodologies that facilitate data handling among participants with mismatched schema sets of an extensible data model, via employing a versioning component. The versioning component can identify and separate the mismatched and matched data, and direct the mismatched portion to a bit bucket component. The bit bucket component can further persistently store the mismatched data, to enable interaction among participants with mismatched data types. The data can be re-integrated to ensure that round trip data is available to the next participant.

Abstract:

A system and/or methodology that enables schema motion and “just-in-time” installation thereof. Aspects of the invention employ signing technology to facilitate secure definition of schema data. These public key technologies can also be employed to facilitate verification of the document (e. g. , schema) received at a destination.
