Patent ID: 8200697

Claim:
A system for access to a file, comprising: a computing device comprising a processor executing a set of computer readable instructions; and a computer readable storage medium for storing a data structure, the data structure readable by instructions executing on a processor and comprising: a set of nominal key:value pairs corresponding to a classification selected from the group comprising a geographic location classifier, an industrial classifier, a file classifier and an account classifier; a set of files, wherein each file in the set of files has the nominal key:value pair file classifier associated therewith, wherein the nominal key:value pair file classifier is associated with an attribute of the file; and a set of user accounts, wherein each user account in the set of user accounts has the nominal key:value pair account classifier associated therewith, wherein the nominal key:value pair account classifier is associated with an attribute of the user account; wherein, the instructions are executable to compare the nominal key:value pair account classifier from the set of nominal key:value pair account classifiers with the nominal key:value pair file classifier from the set of nominal key:value pair file classifiers to determine if the attributes of the nominal key:value pair account classifiers matches with the attributes of one or more files in the set of files, and wherein the instructions are executable to allow the user accounts from the set of user accounts associated with a matching nominal key:value pair account classifier to modify the files associated with the matching nominal key:value pair file classifier.
