When working with the APIs a store is accessed via its store reference, for example workspace://SpacesStore. The store reference consists of two parts: the protocol and the identifier. The first part (for example workspace) is called the protocol and indicates the content you are interested in, such as live content (workspace://SpacesStore) or archived content (archive://SpacesStore). The second part is the identifier (the type of store) for the store, such as SpacesStore, which contains folder nodes (previously called spaces) and file nodes data, or for example lightWeightVersionStore that contains version history data.
Note: The reason some things are referred to as spaces (for example
SpacesStore) is that in previous versions of Content Services a folder used to be called
a space. The Share user interface has generally been changed to use the name folder
instead of the name space. However, there is functionality, such as Space Templates,
that still uses the term “space”. A space can simply be thought of as a folder.
