  • Method, computer program product, and data structure for publishing a data object over a store and forward transport
    Patent number: 6324587
    Abstract: A method and computer program product instituting an entirely client-based system for sharing messages and other data objects is provided. Communication between clients occurs over a generic store and forward transport such as the Internet message protocol described in RFC 822 and implemented on the Internet or other wide area network. A message or other data object is originally maintained by a “publication” client that publishes the data object and any modifications thereto to one or more “subscription” clients that will each maintain a copy thereof. As modifications are made by a client (either publication or subscription) to the client copy of the data object, the modified data object is sent, using the store and forward transport, to the publication client to update the data object.
