Abstract
Methods and systems for storing information extracted from a file are presented. These methods and systems can be used to store content and metadata extracted from a file, and to associate the content and metadata so a holistic image of the file may be maintained. Additionally, these methods and systems may allow the location of a file to be stored and associated with the content or metadata of the file. Methods, systems and databases of this type may be especially useful in avoiding duplication of data by allowing the content and metadata of files to be compared to previously stored content and metadata.
