1. A computer-implemented method for searching for data and managing a plurality of different types of content, comprising: receiving a request for visualizing content within a presentation framework, wherein the presentation framework is configured to interpret a user interface model for rendering the content, the content having content metadata and an associated type of native application, wherein the native application has at least one associated generic content service or an associated custom content service, wherein the associated generic content service supports actions that are common across different native applications and the associated custom content service supports actions that are unique to the native application; determining a model of the content configured for provisioning within the presentation framework based on a process step within a process; sending a search query associated with the content to a plurality of content repositories configured to store the plurality of different types of content and to index the content for searching, the content repositories including at least one content management repository for storing the content metadata; receiving the content metadata of the content from a selected one of the plurality of content repositories; exposing, to a process that consumes an object model, an object property-to-property mapping based on mapping model metadata to the content in the presentation framework; providing an interactive instance of a portion of the content within the presentation framework based on the property-to-property mapping; and determining a user-interface control provided through the presentation framework based on the model metadata and the content metadata, wherein the user-interface control provides at least one generic content service and a custom content service based on the type of native application of the content.
