Concepts for recreating electronic content are presented. One example comprises identifying one or more content references in one or more content sources, wherein each of the one or more content references is associated with a content item. The method then comprises, for each of the one or more identified content references, retrieving the associated content item, then normalizing the one or more retrieved content items to obtain one or more normalized content items. The method then comprises recreating electronic content by combining the one or more normalized content items.

Recreating electronic content

A method, system and computer program product for utilizing email as a transport mechanism for activity stream posting. The method, program system, and computer product may include receiving an email, with content, at a target email system of a target from a source email system of a source. Content that is to be posted to an activity stream is extracted from the email content. The extracted content is posted to the activity stream. The method, program system, and computer product may further include examining the email at the target to identify whether the email includes content that is to be posted to the activity stream, or the target email system may deliver the email to a designated email address mailbox assigned to emails containing content to be sent to the activity stream. A notification of the email may be provided or the mailbox may be checked for email.

Email as a transport mechanism for activity stream posting

A system for temporally associating a user with a location. The system includes a receiving component for receiving identity data from an electronic sensor, the identity data being indicative of a user's presence being detected at a location at a given time. The receiving component further receives scheduling information about the availability of the location for the given time, and an analysis component determines from the scheduling information and the user's detected presence whether the location is available for use by the user.

Temporally associating a user with a location

A method and system for aggregating two or more templated components using an aggregation component is provided. Each templated component has at least one configurable element. The aggregation component comprises at least one configurable element, and an extraction mechanism operable to identify configurable elements of the components selected for aggregation. The aggregation component further comprises a mapping mechanism for mapping configurable elements of the selected components to configurable elements of the aggregation component; a storage mechanism for storing data identifying aggregated components and the corresponding mappings of the configurable elements; and a management mechanism for managing data identifying configuration settings of the aggregated selected components.

Method, and aggregation component for aggregating application components

A method and system for updating templated application design, which facilitates the later 'undoing' of the design update is provided. The method intercepts all design update requests and automatically creates and stores a description of the pre-update version of the application. When a developer intends to apply an update to a design of an application, the application is first asked to provide a description of itself, e.g. a template. If the application comprises a plurality of components, each application component provides a description. Thus a point-in-time design description of the application is created. This is stored and can later be used for an undo method or even multi-level rollback, as required.
