Abstract: A system and method for deploying software from a central location to a plurality of remote install sites. The system includes a network-accessible server system and a plurality of computing devices. Based on delivery of a general application deliverable from the server system, a runtime-based application is installed at each of the computing devices. Varying tags are delivered from the network-accessible server system to generate various implementations of the runtime-based application at the computing devices.

Abstract: An online content system is provided, including a plurality of user accounts maintained at a network-accessible online service, where associated with each user account are a plurality of content items. A catalog service is operable to provide offline metadata for the plurality of user accounts, whereby, for the plurality of content items in each of the plurality of user accounts, (a) a catalog engine of the catalog service is operable to generate a hierarchical tree descriptor for the plurality of content items, and (b) a service interface of the catalog service is operable to cause network transmission of the hierarchical tree descriptor to a remote device associated with the user account, such network transmission being independent of content item downloads to the remote device.
