Abstract

Providing dynamic, interest-based change notifications includes detecting an event for an artifact managed by a collaborative system, determining a user subscribed to the artifact, and, responsive to the event, calculating a score for the event using a processor. The score is user-specific and indicates a level of interest of the user for the event. The score is compared with a threshold score. A change notification of the event is sent to the user responsive to determining that the score exceeds the threshold score.

Claims (34)

1. A computer-implemented method within a computer hardware system including a collaborative system configured to control and monitor an artifact, the method comprising:

receiving, by the collaborative system, the artifact as a particular digital asset, the artifact being associated with a set of subscribers including a first subscriber and a second subscriber;

detecting occurrence of a first event in associated with the artifact;

responsive to detecting occurrence of the first event a first score for the first subscriber to the artifact and a second score for the second subscriber to the artifact, the first score indicating a level of interest of the first user in the first event and the second score indicating a level of interest of the second user in the first event second, the first score being calculated based on a set of rules associated with the artifact and data describing the first subscriber and the second score being calculated based on the set of rules associated with the artifact and data describing the second subscriber, wherein the first score is different than the second score;

determining whether to notify the first subscriber and the second subscriber of the detected event in relation to the artifact based on a comparison of the first score and the second score to a threshold score; and

transmitting a change notification to a client deice of the first subscriber based on the first score exceeding the threshold score, the change notification notifying the first subscriber of the detected event in relation to the artifact, wherein the change notification is not provided to the second subscriber based on the second score being below the threshold score.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to a classification of the artifact.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to a relationship between the first subscriber or the second subscriber with the artifact.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to the first subscriber or the second subscriber previously modifying the artifact within a predetermined time period of the event.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to the first subscriber or the second subscriber being referenced by the artifact.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first score is sent as part of the change notification.

7. A collaborative system comprising:

one or more computer processors; and

one or more computer-readable mediums storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the collaborative system to perform operations comprising:

receiving an artifact as a particular digital asset, the artifact being associated with a set of subscribers including a first subscriber and a second subscriber;

detecting occurrence of a first event in associated with the artifact;

responsive to detecting occurrence of the first event, calculating a first score for the first subscriber to the artifact and a second score for the second subscriber to the artifact, the first score indicating a level of interest of the first user in the first event and the second score indicating a level of interest of the second user in the first event second, the first score being calculated based on a set of rules associated with the artifact and data describing the first subscriber and the second score being calculated based on the set of rules associated with the artifact and data describing the second subscriber, wherein the first score is different than the second score;

determining whether to notify the first subscriber and the second subscriber of the detected event in relation to the artifact based on a comparison of the first score and the second score to a threshold score; and

transmitting a change notification to a client deice of the first subscriber based on the first score exceeding the threshold score, the change notification notifying the first subscriber of the detected event in relation to the artifact, wherein the change notification is not provided to the second subscriber based on the second score being below the threshold score.

8. The collaborative system of claim 7 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to a classification of the artifact.

9. The collaborative system of claim 7 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to a relationship between the first subscriber or the second subscriber with the artifact.

10. The collaborative system of claim 7 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to the first subscriber or the second subscriber previously modifying the artifact within a predetermined time period of the event.

11. The collaborative system of claim 7 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to the first subscriber or the second subscriber being referenced by the artifact.

12. The collaborative system of claim 7 , wherein the first score is sent as part of the change notification.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of a collaborative system, cause the collaborative system to perform operations comprising:

receiving an artifact as a particular digital asset, the artifact being associated with a set of subscribers including a first subscriber and a second subscriber;

detecting occurrence of a first event in associated with the artifact;

responsive to detecting occurrence of the first event, calculating a first score for the first subscriber to the artifact and a second score for the second subscriber to the artifact, the first score indicating a level of interest of the first user in the first event and the second score indicating a level of interest of the second user in the first event second, the first score being calculated based on a set of rules associated with the artifact and data describing the first subscriber and the second score being calculated based on the set of rules associated with the artifact and data describing the second subscriber, wherein the first score is different than the second score;

determining whether to notify the first subscriber and the second subscriber of the detected event in relation to the artifact based on a comparison of the first score and the second score to a threshold score; and

transmitting a change notification to a client deice of the first subscriber based on the first score exceeding the threshold score, the change notification notifying the first subscriber of the detected event in relation to the artifact, wherein the change notification is not provided to the second subscriber based on the second score being below the threshold score.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to a classification of the artifact.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to a relationship between the first subscriber or the second subscriber with the artifact.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to the first subscriber or the second subscriber previously modifying the artifact within a predetermined time period of the event.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein calculating the first score and the second score comprises adjusting at least one of the first score and the second score according to the first subscriber or the second subscriber being referenced by the artifact.
