ABSTRACT:
A system and method for presenting one or more general-purpose application-accessible data sources as an XML representation is discussed. Information that describes the way data is structured or organized in the data source is accessed from the data source. A virtual file system representation comprising a plurality of hierarchical folders is provided to represent the structural information. Optionally, the virtual file system representation may be modified, either manually or according to rules sets. After any desired modification, the XML representation is generated based on the virtual file system representation.
