16.71. ModeShape Sequencing

Many repositories are used (at least in part) to manage files and other artifacts, including service definitions, policy files, images, media, documents, presentations, application components, reusable libraries, configuration files, application installations, databases schemas, management scripts, and so on. Unlocking the information buried within all of those files is what ModeShape sequencing is all about. As files are loaded into the repository, you ModeShape instance can automatically sequence these files to extract from their content meaningful information that can be stored in the repository, where it can then be searched, accessed, and analyzed using the JCR API.
