Abstract

A system for managing and organizing content includes a source capable of operating at least one application (i.e., content manager, taxonomy manager, etc.). The application(s) are capable of providing a plurality of pieces of content and a plurality of master taxonomies, each master taxonomy including at least one piece of content placed at one or more locations. After providing the pieces of content and the master taxonomies, the application(s) can identify a subset of the pieces of content and at least one master taxonomy, where the subset includes at least one piece of content. The application(s) can then generate at least one client taxonomy based upon the identified subset and the master taxonom(ies) such that the subset of the pieces of content can thereafter be organized in the client taxonom(ies). The system can also include a client capable of organizing the subset in the client taxonom(ies).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for managing and organizing content and, more particularly, relates to systems, methods and computer program products for managing and organizing content into at least one taxonomy.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In today's educational climate, an increasing number of persons seek knowledge and further education regarding a truly diverse and wide variety of subjects. As can be appreciated, education and training takes a wide variety of forms. Education starts at a very young age and extends through high school. Thereafter, persons may attend any of a variety of universities, colleges or technical centers. However, education and training is not limited to these formal environments. Illustratively, many companies, agencies and other entities implement training programs to train people with the skills those people need for their respective jobs. Additionally, after receiving a college education,...
