Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a storage platform comprising a database engine, a data store, an application programming interface. The data store is implemented on the database engine for storing data therein, and the data store implements a data model that supports the organization, searching, sharing, synchronization, and security of data stored in the data store. Specific types of data are described in schemas. The application programming interface enables application programs to access services and capabilities of the storage platform and to access the data described in the schemas. The storage platform supports interoperability with existing file systems, enables users and systems to synchronize data stored in different instances of the data store, and provides the ability for application programs to be notified about and to track changes made to the data in the data store.
