Abstract
Techniques allow for applying a retention policy to a composite object. For each composite object type there is a description of the composite object structure and rules that determine how the retention policy is to be applied. A retention application can review the descriptions and rules and, based on the review, apply the appropriate retention policy to each of the objects that make up the composite object.
