Abstract

The present invention provides a centralized system and method for accessing, organizing, personalizing, and managing structured content located in disparate structured content systems. Structured content embedded within a particular system may be organized with structured content from other structured content systems. A processing module accesses the structured content located in the structured content systems using a conduit application programming interface. The processing module uses a display application programming interface to communicate with requesting systems. Metadata regarding the structured content is stored in a repository and the structured content may be used and viewed on a plurality of requesting systems.

Claims (29)

1. A method for aggregating structured content, comprising:

accessing at least one of a plurality of structured content systems using a conversion module;

selecting a structured content object contained in the at least one of the plurality of structured content systems;

retrieving parameters that define the selected structured content object; and

storing the parameters in a metadata repository.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

retrieving system access parameters for accessing the at least one of the plurality of structured content systems.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving navigation commands from a requesting system; and

navigating at least one of the plurality of structured content systems based on the navigation commands.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

repeating each of the foregoing for a plurality of structured content contained in the plurality of structured content systems.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

retrieving parameters that define unstructured content;

storing parameters with respect to unstructured content in the metadata repository.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the storing parameters with respect to unstructured content stores system access parameters for accessing unstructured content contained in an unstructured content management system.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

dynamically updating the parameters in the metadata repository when structured content is created in one of the plurality of the structured content systems.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

dynamically updating the parameters in the metadata repository when structured content is modified in one of the plurality of the structured content systems.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: searching the structured content parameters in the metadata repository.

10. A method for aggregating structured content, comprising:

receiving navigation commands from a requesting system;

retrieving system access parameters for accessing at least one of the plurality of structured content systems;

navigating at least one of the plurality of structured content systems based on the navigation commands;

accessing one of a plurality of structured content systems using a conversion module; selecting a structured content object contained in at least one of the plurality of structured content systems;

retrieving parameters that define the selected structured content object;

storing the parameters in a metadata repository; and

repeating each of the foregoing for a plurality of structured content objects contained in the plurality of structured content systems.
