The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates providing a compact representation of a file path associated to a file storage system. A path component can provide seamless integration and/or transition between the file path associated to the file storage system and an item and/or item ID within the data storage system. The path component can utilize a tabular format, wherein such tabular format allows the cross-reference between the file path and item. The compact representation can facilitate at least one of storing, renaming, and searching.
