MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611050451 A) filed by Noida Institute Of Engineering & Technology, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on April 21, for 'a self-describing file system for long-term data preservation.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Sangeeta Arora; and Dr. Deepak Uprety.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A self-describing file system for long-term data preservation includes a preservation volume header, a semantic descriptor registry, an object catalog, a structural map engine, an integrity ledger, a lineage repository, and a recovery instruction region. The file system embeds structural, semantic, historical, and fixity information within the storage architecture so preserved objects remain interpretable, verifiable, and reconstructable over extended periods. The arrangement supports host-neutral discovery, migration lineage tracking, corruption recovery, and context-aware future access across changing technical environments."
