Abstract
Techniques for providing access to data objects within another data object are described herein. In one embodiment, a compound object including multiple data objects is received and metadata is extracted for a data object from the compound object, where the metadata includes a layout of the data object in view of the compound object. Subsequently, access to one or more of the data objects within the compound object is provided based on the extracted metadata without using an application associated with the compound object. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
