Collaboration Content Publishing Schema
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current content management systems require substantial effort from content managers to publish collaboration content created for intranet audiences to the web, as this content often needs to be rewritten and formatted specifically for web publishing, which is inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that converts collaboration content from tools like WINDOWS SHAREPOINT SERVICES into a publishable web page format, allowing for efficient publication without overburdening the content manager, by deriving a publication schema with additional properties and maintaining independent life cycles for collaboration and published content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If collaboration content is published to the web site, then the content becomes accessible to a broader audience, but the content manager must spend substantial effort rewriting and formatting the content
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a copy of the collaboration content and automatically transforms it into web-publishable format. The collaboration item is copied to a publication item that inherits all necessary formatting and structure, eliminating manual rewriting efforts while maintaining content accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of the content by deriving a publication schema from the collaboration schema. This schema transformation automatically adjusts content properties to suit web publishing requirements without requiring manual intervention to rewrite or reformat the content.
2Productivity
If collaboration content is manually formatted for web publishing, then the content can be published, but the publishing process becomes inefficient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining the publication schema that automatically generates web-publishable content. The schema is prepared in advance with all necessary formatting rules, so when content is published, the transformation happens automatically without requiring the content manager to spend time on manual formatting.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service publishing where the collaboration content automatically transforms into web-publishable format through the derived publication schema. The content management system handles the formatting and publishing operations automatically, freeing the content manager from manual formatting tasks and significantly reducing publishing time.
3Stability of the object's composition
If collaboration content is published with manual intervention, then the content can be adapted for web, but the independent life cycles of collaboration and published content are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the content lifecycle into independent collaboration items and publication items. Each item maintains its own independent life cycle, allowing them to be modified and published at different times. The publication schema ensures that changes in collaboration content are automatically reflected in published content, maintaining independence while ensuring consistency.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer-implemented process takes content created collaboratively from a workgroup environment and converts it into a scheduled web page that is publishable on the Internet. The computer-implemented process loosely relates the generated collaboration content and the published web page such that each may be independently modified and have independent life cycles, but still reflect changes to the collaboration content on the published web page.
