A computer-implemented method is provided, for retrieving data and metadata according to a data harvesting criteria into an indexed repository, comprising providing a user interface allowing a user to define data harvesting criteria for adjusting a subset of data and metadata on an indexed repository. Responsive to a user utilizing the user interface by defining the data harvesting criteria, the subset of data and metadata on the indexed repository is adjusted according to the data harvesting criteria.

Incrementally retrieving data for objects to provide a desired level of detail

A computer-implemented method of obtaining data of interest from a larger set of data that has been indexed is provided, the method comprising defining, via a user interface of a computing device, a set of attributes associated with a concept. Each attribute associated with the concept is mapped to attributes associated with indexed data, and data of interest relevant to the concept is retrieved based upon the mapping of attributes associated with the concept to attributes associated with the indexed data.
