Abstract

A property tree user interface permits user assignment of values to metadata properties and user navigation of data, within a system that includes a data storage subsystem in which data items are organized and queried by way of properties. The property tree includes nodes that expose properties of data items. A user may interact with the property tree in order to effect an assignement of a property, in which case the value associated with the property in the data storage subsystem is modified. User input with respect to the property tree may also be indicative of a query of data storage, in which case a browsable view of data items responsive to the query is displayed. The property tree may also display nodes that represent folders within a hierarchical file system, nodes that represent properties with inherent hierarchy, and nodes that represent user-defined hierarchical properties.

Claims (40)

1. In a computer system having a graphical user interface and a data storage subsystem in which data items are organized and queried by way of metadata properties, a computer-implemented method of assigning values to properties, comprising:
displaying a property tree, the property tree having a plurality of nodes exposing properties of a set of data items; and in response to user input indicative of an assignment of at least one property exposed by the property tree, modifying the value associated with the at least one property in the data storage subsystem.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the user input is indicative of adding metadata to at least one property node in the property tree.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the user input is indicative of removing metadata from at least one property node in the property tree.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the property tree comprises displaying the property tree in a pane in a window, the window having a second pane displaying a list view of data items.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the user input includes expanding at least one property node.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the property tree further comprises displaying a most frequently used subset of values associated with a node.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein displaying the property tree further comprises, in response to user input indicative of an expansion of the subset of values, displaying a full set of values associated with the node.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the property tree further comprises displaying a value associated with a single-value node with an adjacent radio button.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein the user input includes clicking the radio button.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the property tree further comprises displaying a value associated with a multiple-valued node with an adjacent checkbox.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein the user input includes checking the checkbox.
12. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the property tree further comprises displaying a value associated with a node by way of a user-defined control.
13. The method of claim 1 wherein the user input includes dragging and dropping an item onto a node in the property tree.
14. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the property tree further comprises displaying a tree that has nodes that represent folders within a hierarchical file system.
15. The method of claim 14 wherein displaying the property tree further comprises displaying a tree that has a node that represents a link to a web page.
16. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the property tree further comprises displaying a tree that has a node that represents a property that has inherent hierarchy.
17. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the property tree further comprises displaying a tree that has a node that represents a user-defined hierarchical property.
18. The method of claim 1 wherein the data items include items that comprise one or more of text data, audio data, video data, and image data.
19. The method of claim 1 wherein the method is performed within an operating system shell.
20. The method of claim 1 wherein the method is performed within a running application program.
21. In a computer system having a graphical user interface and a data storage subsystem in which data items are organized and queried by way of metadata properties, a computer-implemented method of user navigation of data, comprising:
displaying a property tree, the property tree having a plurality of nodes exposing properties of a set of data items; and in response to user input indicative of a query of data storage, displaying a browsable view of data items responsive to the query.
22. The method of claim 21 wherein displaying the property tree comprises displaying the property tree in a pane in a window, the window having a second pane displaying a list view of data items.
23. The method of claim 21 wherein the user input includes selection of a node in the property tree that represents the query.
24. The method of claim 21 wherein displaying the property tree includes displaying at least one node that represents a navigable set containing data.
25. The method of claim 24 wherein the at least one node that represents a navigable set has at least one nested component.
26. The method of claim 21 wherein the user input includes expanding at least one node in the property tree.
27. The method of claim 21 wherein the data items include items that comprise one or more of text data, audio data, video data, and image data.
28. The method of claim 21 wherein the method is performed within an operating system shell.
29. The method of claim 21 wherein the method is performed within a running application program.
30. In a computer system having a data storage subsystem in which data items are organized and queried by way of metadata properties, a display device for user assignment of values to properties and user navigation of data, comprising: a property tree user interface control for displaying a plurality of nodes exposing properties of a set of data items.
31. The display device of claim 30 wherein the property tree user interface control is additionally for displaying a plurality of nodes that represent folders within a hierarchical file system.
32. The display device of claim 31 wherein the property tree user interface control is additionally for displaying a node that represents a link to a web page.
33. The display device of claim 30 wherein the property tree user interface control is additionally for displaying a tree that has a node that represents a property that has inherent hierarchy.
34. The display device of claim 30 wherein the property tree user interface control is additionally for displaying a tree that has a node that represents a user-defined hierarchical property.
35. The display device of claim 30 wherein the property tree user interface control is additionally for displaying nodes that represent a query of data storage.
36. The display device of claim 30 wherein the property tree user interface control is additionally for displaying at least one node that represents a navigable set containing data.
37. The display device of claim 36 wherein the at least one node that represents a navigable set has at least one nested component.
38. The display device of claim 30 wherein the data items include items that comprise one or more of text data, audio data, video data, and image data.
39. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method for user assignment of values to metadata properties of stored data items, the method comprising:
displaying a property tree, the property tree having a plurality of nodes exposing properties of a set of data items; and in response to user input indicative of an assignment of at least one property exposed by the property tree, modifying the value associated with the at least one property.
40. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method for user navigation of data in a data storage subsystem in which data items are organized and queried by way of metadata properties, the method comprising:
displaying a property tree, the property tree having a plurality of nodes exposing properties of a set of data items; and in response to user input indicative of a query of data storage, displaying a browsable view of data items responsive to the query.
