What is a data object (data set)?
In the terminology of SRB, a data object is a “stream-of-bytes” entity that can be uniquely identified. For example, a file in HPSS or Unix is a data object, or a LOB stored in a SRB Vault database is a data object. Importantly, note that a data object is not a set of data objects/files. Each data object in SRB is given a unique internal identifier by SRB. A data object is associated with a collection (see below). Previously, we used the term “data set” for this, but are phasing it out (as it was often confusing) and instead using “SRB data object”.
