Abstract
The described technology is generally directed an extension to the IFS domains architecture, referred to herein as filter domains. IFS domains allows tagging of files in a tree-like dataset. Thus, a domain can be defined at the root of the dataset such as the topmost directory under which all files reside. These domains are inherently hierarchical, path-based entities. Filter domains extends this organization to allow domains to be applied beyond hierarchical tree structures in order to also provide arbitrary grouping of file objects based on any suitable membership condition.
