Abstract
A method is provided to configure access to a plurality of data repositories. The data repositories each provide data objects for applications operated by users. A request is received to access data objects in the plurality of data repositories. The request may specify a parameter. Metadata is retrieved that characterizes a portion of the data objects stored in each data repository. One or more objects are selected from the data repositories using the parameter in the request and the metadata.
