Data Provider

Data providers in the FileNet Open Client represent the Model layer in the MVC design pattern. They provide access to and management of the business data stored on the backend server (IS and CS libraries). Data providers present a robust, consistent interface to their data consumers (ASPX Pages, user controls) that spares the implementation details of how the data is maintained on the backend. In order to maintain an extensible, forwardly-compatible data model, providers strive not to make any assumptions about how their data will be used by their consumers.
