Abstract
Membership in a group is defined, either manually or by rule. Items are distributed to the members of the group as the items are associated with the group. When a container hierarchy changes (by adding, removing, or changing the properties of an object), the object is checked to see if the change affects the group. If so, then items are re-distributed and/or recalled from the affected members of the group.
