  • Patent number: 10037370
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for replicating metadata structure of a target server according to metadata structure of a source server. The method comprises importing the metadata structure of the source server to the target server, wherein the metadata structure defines by means of structure elements semantics for a metadata, which metadata is associated with electronic objects being stored in said source server; mapping the structure elements to corresponding structure elements in the target server according to mapping rules, wherein similarity mapping is performed for referenced structure elements and identity mapping is performed for fully represented structure elements; and copying content elements—if available—containing at least electronic objects with associated metadata from the source server to the target server by applying the imported metadata structure.

  • Patent number: 9576148
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a computer system storing electronic objects being defined by metadata items. The method comprises deriving access rights from one or more security components originating from respective metadata items of at least one object, and determining the effective access rights for the object by means of the security components. The invention also relates to a method for a computer system storing electronic objects being defined by metadata items, wherein access rights for an object are determined by means of one or more pseudo-users. The invention also relates to an apparatus, a computer system and a computer readable medium comprising a computer program stored therein for carrying out the methods.

  • Patent number: 9417796
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for copying data from a source server to a target server, wherein the data is associated with a metadata. The method comprises mapping the metadata of the data to the metadata structure of the target server, where the mapping comprises determining common names for properties being comprised in the metadata; determining if the determined common names exist in the metadata structure of the target server; and if so, copying—together with the data—such properties of the metadata that have matching common names in the metadata structure of the target server. The invention also relates to a hybrid content management system.
