A framework for data change notification includes a notification queue storing event notifications. Client applications can request event information regarding various data change events. For example, a client application can subscribe, via one or more APIs, to receive event information. The framework allows for session specific event notification mechanisms as well as durable event notification mechanisms that can be preserved across client sessions as well as server restarts. Innovative aspects of this invention include guaranteed delivery of event notifications, APIs to allow applications get summary of past events on the subscribed objects, automatic garbage collection/cleanup of notifications when a client session terminates.

Rich structured data for items in a file system that allows different kinds of data to be identified by metadata is mapped into a set of search properties for a desktop search service, which is a flat list. This is applicable to any rich structured data that should be mapped into search properties for a desktop search service. Included is an installation mechanism to install these mappings and an execution infrastructure for utilizing the generated SQL from the mappings to extract search properties from items.

The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates mapping a data base model to a database object. A type storage system can utilize a storage mapping of a file storage data model. The mapping can describe the database object created based at least in part upon a schema and how instances of the type described in the schema are stored and/or accessed. Furthermore, a query can be provided to find at least one of an item, a document, and/or a contact that satisfy at least one criterion. The type storage system can receive data, wherein the data is at least one of a schema, a data model, a type, a query, and query criteria via an interface to provide the storing and querying. Additionally, the type storage system can generate a view that exposes at least one instance of the type.
