Abstract: In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method for sharing tasks over one or more computer networks is disclosed. The method includes providing a task created on a first computer system located in a first network, the task comprising content information and metadata information. The task can be shared with a user of a second network that is different from the first network. The method can include transmitting the metadata information of the task to a second computer system in the second network over the one or more computer networks without transmitting the content information, the metadata information comprising at least a task identifier. The method can include receiving a request from the user to access the task. The method can include verifying that the user is a task participant. The content information of the task can be securely presented to the user over the one or more computer networks.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and sharing tasks over one or more networks are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system comprises a message retrieval module configured to retrieve electronic messages and parse them into a plurality of tasks. The system can also include a task creation module configured to process the message to identify task information and one or more task recipients. The task creation module can also be configured to create a task based on the identified task information. A task notification module can be configured to notify the one or more task recipients about the created task. The system may also include a multi-layer network management module configured to organize the tasks and task participants into multiple networks and clouds and into a federation of clouds. The system can also include a task analytics module programmed to analyze the tasks performed by users of the system.

Abstract: A translation mechanism translates between a word processing document and an XML file. The translation facility may translate the word processing document into the XML file and, conversely, may translate the XML file into the word processing document. The mechanism may be partially integrated into a word processing package so that the translation from word processing document to XML file may be performed via the user interface provided by the word processing package. The translation mechanism is extensible and flexible so as to be able to translate different varieties of document types. The translation is performed automatically by a computer system or other electronic device and eliminates the need for the user to be familiar with the syntax of XML.
