Mapping of a file system model to a database object

摘要

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.
