Abstract

Abstract A method is disclosed for permitting the contextual searching of a data object which has been copied into a library facility within a data processing system. A selected data object is identifying and the requirement for contextual searchability is indicated. Thereafter, a plurality of contextual search indices is automatically created in response to the copying of the selected data object into a library service. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention a user may specify a selected contextual data abstracting program, the location of that program, the particular input parameters to be utilized to control the contextual data abstracting program and the storage location for the subsequently generated contextual indices. These features are then automatically invoked as a result of the copying of the selected data object. In this manner a data object copied into a library facility will be contextually searchable in the same manner as objects originally filed therein.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 92 words
A method in a data processing system having a plurality of data objects stored therein, for permitting a contextual search of a selected data object copied into a library facility within said data processing system, said method comprising the steps of: identifying a selected data object to be copied into a library facility within said data processing system for which contextual searchability is desired; and automatically creating a plurality of contextual search indices for said selected data object in response to the copying of said selected data object into said library facility.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 101 words
The method in a data processing system having a plurality of data objects stored therein, for permitting a contextual search of a selected data object copied into a library facility within said data processing according to Claim 1 wherein said step of identifying a selected data object to be copied into a library facility within said data processing system for which contextual searchability is desired further includes the step of specifying a contextual data abstracting program to be invoked to create said plurality of contextual search indices in response to the copying of said selected data object into said library facility.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 85 words
The method in a data processing system having a plurality of data objects stored therein, for permitting a contextual search of a selected data object copied into a library facility within said data processing according to Claim 2 wherein said step of identifying a selected data object to be copied into a library facility within said data processing system for which contextual searchability is desired further includes the step of specifying a location within said data processing system wherein said contextual data abstracting program resides.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 100 words
The method in a data processing system having a plurality of data objects stored therein, for permitting a contextual search of a selected data object copied into a library facility within said data processing according to Claim 2 wherein said step of identifying a selected data object to be copied into a library facility within said data processing system for which contextual searchability is desired further includes the step of specifying selected input parameters to be communicated to said contextual data abstracting program wherein said input parameters may be utilized to control selected options within said contextual data abstracting program.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 87 words
The method in a data processing system having a plurality of data objects stored therein, for permitting a contextual search of a selected data object copied into a library facility within said data processing according to Claim 2 wherein said step of identifying a selected data object to be copied into a library facility within said data processing system for which contextual searchability is desired further includes the step of specifying a storage location within said data processing system for storing said plurality of contextual search indices.
