ABSTRACT:
Embodiments are provided to manage information associated with a number of disparate information sources. Metadata and/or other information can be extracted from a file, data stream, or other information source. The extracted metadata and/or other information can be used when performing indexing and searching operations. In one embodiment, a system includes a data structure having a uniform metadata representation and metadata handler for interacting with the data structure. The data structure can be associated with an underlying file or some other information source. The embodiments provide extensibility and can be tailored according to a desired implementation.
