USING SHARED METADATA TO PRESERVE LOGICAL ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN FILES WHEN THE FILES ARE PHYSICALLY STORED IN DYNAMICALLY-DETERMINED CLOUD-BASED STORAGE STRUCTURES

摘要

Systems for accessing medical imagery from a cloud-based facility using a browser-like application. A first user (e.g., a physician) identifies a first plurality of medical digital information files that are organized in a first storage structure. The first user's requests a set of first digital information views of the identified medical digital information of the first storage structure wherein the plurality of first digital information views are described by a respective first set of logical view attributes that are associated with the files organized in the first storage structure. A second user (e.g., a second physician) requests a second plurality of digital information views of the first storage structure wherein the second plurality of digital information. The system sends the first digital information views to the first user, and sends the second digital information views to the second user.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
identifying a plurality of digital information files organized in a first storage structure, wherein the plurality of digital information files are described by a respective one or more physical storage attributes; identifying a first user's plurality of digital information views of the first storage structure wherein the plurality of digital information views are described by a respective first set of logical view attributes that are dynamically associated with the files organized in a first storage structure; generating a first file attribute dataset comprising a first portion of metadata that describes the first storage structure and a second portion of metadata that describes the first user's plurality of digital information views; identifying a second user's plurality of digital information views of the first storage structure wherein the plurality of digital information views are described by a respective second set of or more logical view attributes that are dynamically associated with the files organized in a first storage structure; generating a second file attribute dataset comprising the first portion of metadata that describes the first storage structure and a third portion of metadata that describes the second user's plurality of digital information views; and sending the first file attribute dataset to the first user, and sending the second file attribute dataset to the second user.
