Abstract

Methods for generating a characterizing summary and generating a collection of relevant preservation objects in a preservation system are provided. A characterizing summary is generated by collecting first information about a preservation object; collecting second information about other preservation objects or other metadata; generating a characterizing summary according to the first information and the second information; and adding the characterizing summary to the preservation object. A collection of relevant preservation objects is generated by accessing one or more preservation objects by way of one or more metadata included in a target preservation object constructed for content data; determining whether each of the accessed preservation objects is relevant to the target preservation object; adding each relevant preservation object to a list of relevant preservation objects; and generating the collection of relevant preservation objects according to the list of relevant preservation objects.
