Systems and Methods for Generating Metadata and Storing the Metadata in a Repository

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable instructions embodied therein that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations to generate at least one metadata representation, the operations comprising:

• receiving a first rule associated with a document, the first rule including a trigger action, a first rule criterion, and a first rule outcome action;
• receiving a second rule associated with the document, the second rule including the trigger action, a second rule criterion, and a second rule outcome action;
• generating the at least one metadata representation based on at least one of:
• the first rule or the second rule;
• receiving a request to execute an action on the document,
• wherein the action is at least one of a create action, an update action, and a delete action;
• extracting the first rule from the at least one metadata representation;
• extracting the second rule from the at least one metadata representation;
• determining the first rule criterion is fulfilled;
• executing in response to the first rule criterion being fulfilled, the first rule outcome action;
• executing, after executing the first rule outcome action, the action on the document;
• determining, in response to executing the action on the document, the second rule criterion is fulfilled;
• and
• executing, in response to the second rule criterion being fulfilled, the second rule outcome action.

A method for generating at least one metadata representation, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a content management server, a first rule associated with a document type, wherein the first rule includes a trigger action, a first rule criterion, and a first rule outcome action, and wherein the document type includes at least one metadata field and at least one parent document type;
• receiving, by the content management server, a second rule associated with the document type, the second rule including the trigger action, a second rule criterion, and a second rule outcome action;
• generating, by the content management server, the at least one metadata representation based on at least one of:
• the first rule or the second rule;
• receiving, by the content management server, a request to execute an action on the document type,
• wherein the action is at least one of a create action, an update action, and a delete action;
• extracting, by the content management server, the first rule from the at least one metadata representation;
• extracting, by the content management server, the second rule from the at least one metadata representation;
• determining, by the content management server, the first rule criterion is fulfilled;
• executing, by the content management server and in response to the first rule criterion being fulfilled, the first rule outcome action;
• executing, by the content management server and after executing the first rule outcome action, the action on the document type;
• determining, by the content management server and in response to executing the action on the document type, the second rule criterion is fulfilled;
• and
• executing, by the content management server and in response to the second rule criterion being fulfilled, the second rule outcome action.
