Information portal based on partner information
View Patent ↗Systems, methods, and interfaces are provided for sharing information. Specifically, the present application is directed toward an environment for facilitating the exchange of information between users associated with specific partner network components. Users are granted access to such specific partner networks through a content management system in accordance with each user's affiliation with one or more organizations. The content management system can generate specific information portals accessible by individual users based their organizational associations.
1. A content management system comprising:
an interface component configured to obtain information from users affiliated with one or more organizations and corresponding to one or more partner network components, the one or more partner network components are configured to provide content, with varying scope to the users based on a corresponding organization being associated with at least one of an open community and a private community;
a data processing component for processing information requests from the users and generating specific information portals for the users corresponding to the configuration associated with the user according to specific partner network component affiliation information associated with a user via the corresponding organization, wherein the generated specific information portals provide access to partner information provided to the partner network component corresponding to the affiliation information by a different partner network component and the corresponding organization such that the information portals provide limited access to partner information based on whether or not the corresponding organization is associated with a private community;
a user profile data store for maintaining individual user profiles;
a partner profile data store for maintaining partner profile information, wherein the partner profile includes specific partner network component affiliation information for partner network components;
a partner program data store for maintaining partner information generated by specific partner network components;
wherein the data processing components filters at least a portion of the partner information included in the generated specific information portal based on specific partner network component affiliation information associated with the information obtained from a user, the specific partner network component affiliation information including at least one of affiliation with one or more partner network components and user characterizations associated within an affiliated partner network component.
2. The content management system of claim 1 , wherein the information from users corresponding to one or more partner network components includes a request for an information portal.
3. The content management system of claim 2 , wherein the request includes affiliation information to be utilized in the generation of the specific information portal.
4. The content management system of claim 2 , wherein the data processing component obtains the specific partner network component affiliation information from domain information associated with a user electronic mail address.
5. The content management system of claim 1 , wherein the partner program data store is stored in accordance with a multi-tenant storage model.
6. The content management system of claim 1 , wherein the user characterization includes at least one of a public network and a private network.
7. The content management system of claim 1 , wherein at least one user is associated with two or more organizations.
8. The content management system of claim 1 , wherein at least one user is associated with multiple user characterizations and wherein the specific information portal corresponds to a selected user characterization.
9. The content management system of claim 1 further comprising a collaboration data store for maintaining information related to collaborations between users.
10. The content management system of claim 9 , wherein the collaborations correspond to collaborations associated with at least one of users within a single partner network component and users of different partner network components.
11. A computer-implemented method for managing content comprising:
obtaining an information portal request from a user affiliated with one or more organizations;
obtaining user affiliation information corresponding to the information portal request, the affiliation information associating the user with a partner network component, the partner network component being one of a plurality of partner network components and configured to provide content, with varying scope to at least one user based on a corresponding organization being associated with at least one of an open community and a private community;
obtaining partner information based on the obtained user affiliation information, wherein the partner information corresponds to information provided to the partner network component corresponding to the affiliation information by a different partner network component;
processing the partner information based on the user affiliation information;
causing the generation of an information portal including to be accessed by the user via the corresponding organization, wherein information portal includes the processed partner information such that the information portal provides limited access to partner information based on whether or not the corresponding organization is associated with a private community;
wherein the method is implemented in a computer system including one or more computing devices.
12. The method as recited in claim 11 , wherein obtaining the information portal request includes obtaining a user specification of affiliation information.
13. The method as recited in claim 11 further comprising determining user affiliation information.
14. The method as recited in claim 13 , wherein determining user affiliation information includes determining user affiliation information from at least a domain associated with an electronic mail address of the user.
15. The method as recited in claim 11 , wherein processing the partner information includes filtering the partner information based on affiliations with one or more specific partner network components.
16. The method as recited in claim 11 , wherein processing the partner information includes filtering the partner information based user characterizations of users associated with one or more specific partner network components.
17. A computer-implemented method for managing content comprising:
obtaining an information portal request from a user affiliated with one or more organizations;
obtaining user affiliation information corresponding to the information portal request;
filtering partner information based on user affiliation information, wherein filtering is based on at least a selection of one or more specific partner network components associated with the user and one or more user characterizations from selected specific network components, wherein the partner information corresponds to information provided to the partner network component corresponding to the affiliation information by a different partner network component, the one or more partner network components being configured to provide content, with varying scope, to the user based on a corresponding organization being associated with at least one of an open community and a private community;
causing the generation of an information portal to be accessed by the user via the corresponding organization, wherein information portal includes the processed partner information such that the information portal provides limited access to partner information based on whether or not the corresponding organization is associated with a private community;
wherein the method is implemented in a computer system including one or more computing devices.
18. The method as recited in claim 17 , wherein at least one user is associated with two or more organizations.
19. The method as recited in claim 17 , wherein at least one user is associated with multiple user characterizations.
20. The method as recited in claim 17 further comprising storing the partner information in accordance with a multi-tenant storage model.
