STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF STRUCTURED CONTENT IN UNSTRUCTURED USER-EDITABLE CONTENT STORES

摘要

Systems and techniques are disclosed for enabling structured data to be associated with visual content in a manner that preserves the ability to edit the visual content using a content application such as a notebook application. Techniques and systems enable semantic notation to be introduced into selected regions of the visual content that indicate the visual content's structured data, allowing the content to be searched and accessed more easily by common search technologies and search engines. The semantic notation is assigned to the visual content so that the introduction of the semantic notation does not hinder the user's viewing or editing of the visual content with a content application. The inclusion of the semantic notation does not cause existing visual editing tools that do not understand the semantic notation to cease to function properly.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media; a processing system; program instructions for a content store service stored on the one or more computer readable storage media that direct the processing system to, in response to receiving an indication to store a visual content: determine one or more content containers for the visual content; determine structured data associated with the visual content; assign semantic notation representative of the structured data to at least one of the one or more content containers; and store the visual content and the at least one content container with the semantic notation in a content store stored on the one or more computer readable storage media.
