Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying expandable content by maintaining a content database of slot identifier entries, each entry identifying a respective content slot and a respective resource identifier of a corresponding electronic publication on which the respective content slot is positioned. A data processing system receives a request to provide content for a content slot, the request identifying a slot identifier and a resource identifier, and determines, by accessing the content database, one or more permitted expansion directions for the content slot. The data processing system selects an expandable content item for publication based on the one or more determined permitted expansion directions.
