Redirecting document references to a repository

A data processing system configured for automating the redirection of uniform resource identifier (URI) references of documents, the system comprising:

• a processor configured for execution in a host computing platform;
• a repository configured for storing documents;
• and
• a remapping program code coupled to the processor, causing the processor to:
• download a document using a URI,
• store the document in a repository;
• parse the document to determine the existence of one or more dependent documents referred to in the document;
• and
• conduct an automated URI reference redirection subprocess for the document and the dependent documents, the URI reference redirection subprocess comprising:
• responsive to determining the existence of one or more dependent documents, downloading each dependent document from a respective URI of each dependent document and storing the dependent document in the repository;
• assigning a new URI to the document and each dependent document stored in the repository;
• creating a catalog entry for the document and each dependent document;
• and
• for each catalog entry, remapping the URI from which each document was downloaded to the assigned new URL.

A computer-readable storage medium having stored therein computer-readable instructions, which, when loaded in and executed by a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:

• downloading a document using a uniform resource identifier (URI);
• storing the document in a repository;
• parsing the document to determine the existence of one or more dependent documents referred to in the document;
• and
• conducting an automated URI reference redirection subprocess for the document and the dependent documents, the URI reference redirection subprocess comprising:
• responsive to determining the existence of one or more dependent documents, downloading each dependent document from a respective URI of each dependent document and storing the dependent document in the repository;
• assigning a new URI to the document and each dependent document stored in the repository;
• creating a catalog entry for the document and each dependent document;
• and
• for each catalog entry, remapping the URI from which each document was downloaded to the assigned new URI.
