Abstract
Systems and methods for managing content items of the type used in Web sites. In accordance with the disclosure, site objects, channel objects and content objects are associated with each other to form a hierarchical site structure. The content objects are linked to corresponding content items in a content repository, and are grouped together by association with channel objects in the site structure. Each of the objects in the site structure has an associated set of content services and can be deployed individually or in combination, while maintaining references to the related objects in the hierarchical site structure.
Claims14
A method for content management, comprising:
- at a computer including at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions translatable by the at least one processor to perform,
- instantiating a content object from a class which inherits a set of content services from a parent class;
- linking the content object to a corresponding actual content item residing in a content repository to thereby represent or target the actual content item, the content object including references to other objects to define a hierarchical site structure of a site of multiple sites;
- creating a reference between the content object and a channel object, wherein the channel object is instantiated from a class which inherits the set of content services from the parent class, and wherein the reference is owned by the content object or the channel object;
- and
- managing the content item for sharing across the multiple sites using the set of content services over a network, the managing comprising individually deploying the content object from the computer to an endpoint device supporting the site of the multiple sites, wherein individually deploying the content object includes maintaining the references to the other objects in the hierarchical site structure of the site and deploying reference data containing information for replacement of a version of the content object at the endpoint device, and
- wherein a position of the content object in the hierarchical site structure of the site differs from a position of the actual content item in the content repository.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions translatable by a computer having at least one processor to perform:
- instantiating a content object from a class which inherits a set of content services from a parent class;
- linking the content object to a corresponding actual content item residing in a content repository to thereby represent or target the actual content item, the content object including references to other objects to define a hierarchical site structure of a site of multiple sites;
- and
- creating a reference between the content object and a channel object, wherein the channel object is instantiated from a class which inherits the set of content services from the parent class, and wherein the reference is owned by the content object or the channel object;
- managing the content item for sharing across the multiple sites using the set of content services over a network, the managing comprising individually deploying the content object from the computer to an endpoint device supporting the site of the multiple sites, the individually deploying including maintaining the references to the other objects in the hierarchical site structure of the site and deploying reference data containing information for replacement of a version of the content object at the endpoint device,
- wherein a position of the content object in the hierarchical site structure of the site differs from a position of the actual content item in the content repository.
