A method and system are provided for incrementally maintaining digital information using change notifications. A content store provides change notifications corresponding to changes to the data within the store to an event broadcaster. One or more modules store a subset of the content data for publication and receive the change notifications over a message queue bus. The modules process the change notifications and generate events for redistribution by the event broadcaster. The events may include publishing updated content by the modules.

Method and system for incrementally maintaining digital content using events

A system and method employ a hierarchical data structure wherein nodes in the structure have a parent/child as well as a temporal relationship. Accordingly, the parent-child relationship of various nodes may change as a function of time. This hierarchical structure is part of a system employed to schedule content on a web site or web page that changes over time.
