Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with a content object from an on-demand database service. The content object can be stored in an external content management data source. Access can be established with the external content object using information data identifying the content object, where the information data identifying the content object can be stored in a persistent object in a database of the on-demand database service. An indication of an event requesting interaction with the content object can be received. The persistent object can be updated to reflect the interaction with the content object.

Systems and methods for interacting with external content objects

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products for database system communications with external content management data sources. In some implementations, the data sources are identified in a user interface. An authorization selection enables authorization of a given identified data source, and a customization selection enables customization of one or more search settings for searching content of the data source. Persistent objects representing content objects of the data sources can be stored in one or more databases. A database search can be performed on both native database files and the persistent objects.

Systems and methods for providing access to external content objects

Fractal maps are used to help with web discovery and navigation. The fractal map is generated during the exploration of the web (or any content repositories). The exploration can start from a particular article. The map can show a fixed number of related articles. Each representation of a related article has two distinct areas: one provides contextual information of the article itself and the second area can include progressively smaller scales that represent user's navigation through the related articles. Color codes can be used to indicate the strength of the relationship between articles, user actions, or ratings.

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for establishing access with a content object stored in a content management data source from an on-demand database service. A request can be received from a user of the on-demand database service to access data regarding a content object stored in an external content management data source. The content management data source can be identified based on the request, and the request can be provided to a repository-specific connector communicatively coupled to the external content management data source. Access can be established with the content object to retrieve the requested data, and a virtual object associated with the on-demand database service can be created to instantiate connection between the content object and the on-demand database service. The requested data can be provided to a display device in a user interface for the on-demand database service.

Systems and methods for content management in an on-demand environment

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for providing access in an on-demand database service to a content object stored in an external content management data source. Information data identifying a content object stored in an external content management data source can be received and communicated through one or more middleware components. The one or more middleware components can serve as a content hub to establish access with the content object and retrieve data regarding the content object. The data regarding the content object can be stored in a persistent object, which can represent the content object in a social layer of the on-demand database service.
