Abstract
Improvements in the creation, maintenance and management of web based information are provided. A development environment conducive to separation of tasks and data, works in combination with the means to present views of changed information for approval to users. Data from file systems and database systems can be combined to create a rich source of material for users, while changes to such material can be effectively controlled and released for production.
Claims63
A method for editing content of a production data store for use by a computer system, comprising:
- replicating said production data store to produce a core data store;
- and,
- producing a shadow data store of a portion of said core data store.
A method for editing content of a production data store for use by a computer system, comprising:
- replicating said production data store to produce a c ore data store;
- producing shadow data stores of portions of said core data store;
- and
- generating user views for presentation to users, from said shadow data stores and said core data store, by combining content of said shadow data stores with content of said core data store to produce temporary images as user views.
A method for editing content of a production data store for use by a computer system, comprising:
- replicating said production data store to produce a core data store;
- producing shadow data stores of portions of said core data store;
- generating user views for presentation to users, from respective shadow data stores and said core data store, by combining content of said respective shadow data stores with content of said core data store to produce temporary images as user views.
A data processing system for editing content of a production data store for use by a computer system, comprising:
- replicating means for replicating said production data store to produce a core data store;
- and
- producing means for creating a shadow data store of a portion of said core data store.
