Abstract

Organizing and publishing content in a content management system wherein content, including text, images and video, is received and segmented into content atoms. One or more tags are associated with the content atoms to allow device specific presentation of the content atoms.

Claims (13)

1. A method of organizing and publishing content in a content management system, the method comprising:

receiving, via one or more processors of the content management system, one or more content items, wherein each of the one or more content items comprises at least one of text, images, or video;

segmenting, via one or more processors of the content management system, the received one or more content items into a plurality of re-orderable content atoms of a narrative, wherein each of the content atoms comprises one of text, images, or video:

associating, via one or more processors of the content management system, one or more tags with each of the plurality of content atoms;

configuring, via one or more processors of the content management system a presentation of the plurality of content atoms based on a first device, wherein the presentation is (i) presented via a user interface (UI) of the first device and (ii) includes, for each of the plurality of content atoms, a media decoration that is presented in association with the corresponding content atom, and that is determined based on a concept within the narrative that is derived from the text, images, or video of the corresponding content atom;

automatically generating at last one alert, when at least one of the content atoms has been updated and when all other content atoms of the received content item have not been updated; and

distributing the at least one alert to a set of devices, wherein the set of devices is determined based on the one or more tags associated with the at least one content atom.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: responsive to the update, re-entering the presentation at the updated at least one content atom.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: re-entering the presentation at a particular content atom of the plurality of content atoms via a table of contents or index, the table of contents or the index being accessible at a UI of a second device different from the first device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: re-ordering the plurality of content atoms via a drag-and-drop procedure activated via a UI associated with the content management system.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of content atoms is represented and stored as a loosely structured document.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the segmentation is based on a length of one of the received one or more content items.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the segmentation is based on a semantic analysis.
