Abstract
A system and method for electronic file management includes an object-oriented file management database, a volume manager, and a coherency manager. The volume manager manages electronic files and metadata relating to the files of one or more volumes. Each volume may include folders, files, and/or other digital content. The coherency manager, among other things, facilitates consistency among multiple volume managers through the management of file versions and/or related files within or among the multiple volumes. The coherency manager utilizes metadata associated with files. A user interface allows a user to view and manage, within the file management system, metadata associated with the electronic files.
