US Classification:

707786

Abstract:

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for providing nested variables in a content management system. These mechanisms and methods for providing nested variables in a content management system can enable users to model types that can be used within other type definitions. This differs from the Type Inheritance feature in that types that make use of the nested type feature do not extend their functionality but define a property definition having a value defined by all property definitions in the nested type. For example, user can create a type address with property definitions such as street, city, zip code, etc. The user can then create another type person that has property definitions such as “name” and home address and business address. The two address property definitions can be represented by the address type, each with the address type's property definitions. Embodiments may further provide the ability to have abstract types and link property types.

US Classification:

707802, 707792

Abstract:

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for providing linked property types in a content management system. These mechanisms and methods for providing linked property types in a content management system can enable users to specify a new property definition type, which refers to another node instance in the content management system. By specifying a link property definition type on a type, the user can then relate a node instance of the modeled type (link source) to any other node instance (link target) in the system. For example, a user can create a type Article with property definitions such as title, body and authorLink. The authorLink property definition can be a link type property definition. Then the user could define an Author content type. When an instance of an Article is created (anArticle), the authorLink property associated with anArticle could refer to a node instance of an Author.

US Classification:

707736, 707781

Abstract:

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for providing extensions to a Service Provider Interface (SPI) in a content management system. These mechanisms and methods for providing extensions to a Service Provider Interface (SPI) in a content management system can enable embodiments to integrate one or more of a plurality of content repositories into a virtual content repository (VCR) by mapping requests to access content received via a common Application Programming Interface (API) to at least one JSR-170 compliant repository and at least one SPI compliant repository. The ability of embodiments to provide so integrate disparate content repositories can enable one or more of navigation, CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete), versioning, workflows, and searching operations to operate on a plurality of repositories as though the plurality of repositories were one repository.

US Classification:

707736, 707781, 726 2

Abstract:

A virtual content repository (VCR) is a logical representation of one or more individual content repositories. The VCR uses a common Application Programming Interface (API) and a Service Provider Interface (SPI) to provide a single access point to one or more individual content repositories. The API describes how applications can interface with program logic and functionality provided by the content management system and the SPI describes how a content repository can be integrated into the VCR. A SPI adapter can be interposed between the at least one non-compliant repository in the VCR and the SPI. The SPI adapter can map a request to the non-compliant repository and provide content received from the non-compliant repository to originators of the requests.

US Classification:

707001000, 715501100, 707100000

Abstract:

A system and method for using soft links to managed content is described, wherein data is stored within a content repository in the form of nodes arranged in a hierarchical structure. Soft links are created and associated with content nodes by having a reference pointer to a node that is resolved by the content repository. A soft link may be implemented as a skeleton node containing no actual storage data except to point to the actual content node. Nested soft links are also supported wherein a soft link may reference another soft link which can reference a node or yet another soft link. Checks for cyclical infinite loops can be performed. Soft links can be presented as pointers to regular content nodes to the users. This can enable users to arrange and customize data while saving on storage costs and preventing duplication of data.

707003000

Abstract:

A system and method for providing full text searching of content within a content management system are disclosed. A repository can maintain content in a plurality of nodes of various content types that have binary as well as metadata properties. An abstracted application programming interface can be provided for constructing full text search queries based on the metadata and the binary properties of the various node types. The abstracted interface can allow a search engine to be replaced with another engine without altering the functionality of the virtual content repository. A search index can be generated by the search engine in order to enable faster querying of content. The search engine can also subscribe to a set of federated event listeners that provide notifications of various operations within the content repository to the search engine, such that the index can be appropriately maintained and updated by the search engine.
