Abstract
Persisting metadata in an information management system. During information management, metadata is collected and generated for objects in the computing environment. The metadata is used to classify the objects in order to provide certain services to the objects. The metadata is then selectively persisted to improve performance of the information management system in providing the services. Selectively persisting metadata can also reduce storage requirements.
