A system and method comprising, sharing information between a plurality of participants in a collaboration; and exposing a set of functions that enable a participant in the plurality of participants to share the information, the set of functions comprising: first functions to facilitate establishing a context in which to interact with the plurality of participants; and second functions to facilitate storing and retrieving values from a shared state, wherein the shared state is accessible within the context.

Systems and methods for collaboration shared state management

A method for integrating a plurality of content repositories into a virtual content repository (VCR), comprising providing credential information to each one of said plurality of content repositories, receiving authorization information from each one of said plurality of content repositories, wherein the authorization information indicates whether or not an authorization procedure succeeded, integrating into the VCR each one of said plurality of content repositories whose authorization information indicates successful authorization, and wherein each one of said plurality of content repositories exposes a first set of services to enable its integration into the VCR.

Federated management of content repositories

A system and method for providing a containment model of role capabilities wherein a parent role can obtain the capabilities of its child role(s).

Method for delegated administration

A system and method for providing a lifecycle for content in a virtual content repository (VCR), comprising, integrating a plurality of repositories into the VCR, storing the content in the VCR, allowing the content to go through a set of states according to a lifecycle definition, and wherein the content is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the plurality of repositories.

System and method for schema lifecycles in a virtual content repository that integrates a plurality of content repositories

An interactive tool for viewing and manipulating a virtual content repository (VCR) having an application program interface (API), comprising providing a first graphical user interface (GUI) configured to present a hierarchical namespace wherein the namespace includes at least one element, and wherein one of the at least one element can be selected, providing a second GUI configured to present and to enable editing of content associated with the selected element in the first GUI, providing a third GUI configured to present and to enable editing of schema associated with the selected element in the first GUI, and wherein the VCR includes at least one content repository, and wherein the at least one content repository includes a service provider interface (SPI) compatible with the API.

Virtual content repository browser

A system and method for viewing a first set of nodes in a virtual content repository (VCR), comprising, integrating a plurality of repositories into the VCR, storing the first set of nodes in the VCR, deriving a second set of nodes from the first set of nodes based on at least one criteria, rendering a view of the second set of nodes in an hierarchical namespace wherein the hierarchical namespace can encompass the plurality of repositories and wherein the second set of nodes is a subset of the first set of nodes.

System and method for viewing a virtual content repository

System and method for content lifecycles in a virtual content repository that integrates a plurality of content repositories

A system and method for providing a lifecycle for information in a virtual content repository (VCR), that includes integrating a plurality of repositories into the VCR, storing the information in the VCR, and allowing the information to transition through a set of states according to a lifecycle definition. The information is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the plurality of repositories, and the information can include at least one of: content and schema information.

System and method for providing a lifecycle for information in a virtual content repository

A system and method for controlling access to a node in a virtual content repository (VCR), comprising, integrating the plurality of repositories into the VCR, storing the node in the VCR, associating with the node at least one of: a role and a policy, wherein the node is part of a hierarchical namespace that encompasses the plurality of repositories, and wherein the role and/or the policy can control access to the node.

System and method for controlling access to anode in a virtual content repository that integrates a plurality of content repositories

In embodiments, a system and method for submitting information to a lifecycle in a virtual content repository (VCR) is provided that includes defining the lifecycle wherein the definition includes a plurality states and one or more transitions to interconnect and impose an order on the plurality of states, providing to a first process access to the lifecycle wherein the first process can cause the information to transition from a first state of the plurality of states to a second state of the plurality of states according to a first transition of the one or more transitions, wherein the information is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the VCR, and wherein the information can include at least one of: content and schema information.

System and method for information lifecycle workflow integration

In embodiments, a system and method for providing a lifecycle for information in virtual content repository (VCR) are provided. A method embodiment includes defining a plurality states and one or more transitions to interconnect and impose an order on the plurality of states, wherein the information can be in a first state of the plurality of states and can transition to a second state of the plurality of states according to a first transition of the one or more transitions, wherein the information is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the VCR; and, wherein the information can include at least one of: content and schema information.

System and method for providing lifecycles for custom content in a virtual content repository

A system and method for providing one or more content services to a repository in a plurality of repositories that includes integrating the plurality of repositories into a virtual content repository (VCR), maintaining a logical namespace that encompasses the plurality of repositories, and providing the one or more content services to the VCR. The one or more content services includes at least one of: a versioning capability and a lifecycle capability. The VCR stores at least one of: content information and schema information. The content and schema information is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the plurality of repositories.
