Embodiment Construction

[0023] A typical portal page contains several boxes 1-6. Each box represents a placeholder for content provided by the defined portlet. The container 8 (dotted line) defined in this application has no portlets assigned to it. They provide further possibilities to create subcontainers or containing boxes.

[0024] A very important aspect of the invention is to distribute the functionality of creating, modifying, deleting, or moving containers or boxes over several administrative levels, such as figure 2 shown. The highest level of administrators (portal administrators) create layers that may contain one or more containers or boxes, and give editing rights to the group of administrators at the next administrative level. This can be done for each page (P1, P2, . . . , Pn). The next level of administration (group administrators / subgroup administrators) can specify the page by adding or removing containers / boxes that have not been pinned by the portal administrator.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a system and method for delegated page specialization based on a page layer concept. A page consist of a set of layers. Except the first layer each layer represents a delta (container, frames) in its layout to its previous layer introduced on the corresponding level of administration. Administrators can modify the previous layers by defining new immutable and optional containers or frames on the page (delta). Only the deltas to the previous layers are stored with assignments to their parent layers. Immutable containers or frames of previous layers cannot be modified. The final page is automatically constructed as an union of deltas being stored in a so called tree-structure. The delegated page specialization is preferably accomplished via a GUI-component which supports the administrators.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to pages, and more particularly to documents for text processing systems, portal pages, World Wide Web pages, and other types of pages that have in common that they have a particular layout that may be specified by others, More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method that allow the creation, retrieval, specification, and manipulation of such layouts in a hierarchical manner. Background technique [0002] Without limiting the scope of the invention to portal pages only, the present invention will be discussed with respect to portal pages as a preferred embodiment of the invention. [0003] Portals are becoming the central point for users to access information (content) and applications from many different sources. Generally, a portal takes information from local or remote sources, such as databases, transactional systems, comprehensive content providers, or remote World Wide Web sites, ...
