The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for hierarchically grouping a community of users within in a directory structure. for hierarchically grouping a community of users within a directory structure. A hierarchical grouping system can include a collaborative context having a community of subscribers, one or more roles assigned to the subscribers, and one or more tools and resources configured for access by the subscribers the access being limited by the roles. The system further can include a directly having entries associated with the subscribers. Notably, the directory can have a single hierarchical structure. Finally, the system can include a mapping between the directory and the roles in the collaborative context. Notably, the collaborative context can be a named collaborative space disposed in a portal environment and the directly can include an LDAP directory.

A method and system for the establishment of a named collaborative space in a collaborative computing environment in which a named space defining a place within the collaborative computing environment is provided. A membership set for the collaborative space is identified in which the membership set includes one or more members. At least one business process accessible within the named space is provided. The at least one business process can provide a business component instance which provides a specific business function within the named space. The business component instance can be in the form of a portlet.

The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for the policy based provisioning and management of a collaborative context. A policy based application provisioning system for use in a collaborative environment can include a policy having rules for limiting collaborative context creation and operation in the collaborative environment. A context provisioning process can be coupled to the policy and configured to create collaborative contexts in the collaborative environment limited by the rules in the policy. Finally, a context management process can be coupled to a data store of usage data for created ones of created collaborative contexts in the collaborative environment.

A method and system for integrating an instance of a third party application into a collaborative computing environment instance are provided. One or more data interfaces between the third party application instance and the collaborative computing environment are created. The third party application instance is exposed within the collaborative computing environment. A template within the collaborative computing environment that uses the third party application instance is created. A migration tool is used to create collaborative computing environment instances which reference existing instances within the third party application.

The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for combining synchronous and asynchronous collaborative components in a single collaborative content. A named collaborative context can include a selection of collaborators in a membership and at least one role applied to the collaborators. The named collaborative context can further include a selection of resources for use by the collaborators. Most importantly, the named collaborative context can include an ad hoc mix of synchronous and asynchronous tools. Preferably, the named collaborative can also include a template defining the selection of collaborators, the role or roles applied to the collaborators, the selection of resources, and the ad hoc mix.

The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for event notification framework in a system of dynamically aggregated logical components. In accordance with the present invention, an event notification and management system can include one or more logical components coupled to corresponding dynamic proxies. An event notification service can be communicatively linked to one or more subscribing processes. Finally, an event queue can be disposed between the dynamic proxies and the event notification service.

The present invention discloses a personal note capability for a text exchange client. A personal note can be a note not transmitted in a dialog between text exchange participants. It can, however, be transmitted in a communication outside the text exchange dialog communication. The personal note can be created and presented within a text exchange window. In one implementation, a user can utilize a special symbol to denote that a personal note follows. For example, a user could enter “ subject globalization program,” into a text output field, where “” is the special symbol, “subject” denotes a category of the personal note, and “globalization program” defines the subject of the text exchange. Personal notes can be stored along with a log of the communication session and used for indexing, searching, and other log management functions.
摘要:
Methods on objects in a distributed environment are accessed and invoked on a system including a plurality of server objects instantiated in the environment in the same address domain, which share a same user directory and authentication system, are on a same user network, and are administered by a single administration team. A service catalog is provided for cataloging a plurality of objects as nodes on a tree, objects including the plurality of servers objects within the distributed environment. A document file is provided for encapsulating cataloged relationships of server objects in the distributed environment and for storing object attributes generated by traversing the tree.

The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for managing external data sources in a discussion forum resource. A discussion forum resource can include at least one topic thread disposed in the discussion resource forum and created for externally sourced content in the discussion forum resource. The discussion forum resource further can include a data aggregator coupled to the topic thread and configured to manage the externally sourced content in the topic thread. Notably, the externally sourced content can include text, audio, imagery or video.
摘要:
Collaboration space object model provides for a place consisting of rooms created by users interacting with a client browser. A skin (i.e., theme) may be used as template for creating places. PlaceBots (i.e., agents) provide for accessing, processing and managing data in a place. HTML may be dragged and dropped into a place, where it is parsed and corresponding place fields created. MS Excel or Word documents may be dragged and dropped into a place, which creates a corresponding form, and users may create new documents using that form. A place type comprising a template of an entire place, or collaboration space, may be used to create new places. Changes made to a place may be reported, subject to security controls, by selecting what's new. Task fields are provided allowing web browser creation of forms for work flow. Place enabled objects are provided for synchronous communications. A quick browse feature provides a simplified format for browser windows based on selection of HTML links. MS Office documents may launched within a place for in place editing and importing the resulting document into the place.
