  • Publication number: 20260073065
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to access control on curated content items of user groups in a cloud-based collaboration environment. Managing permissions in a cloud-based collaboration environment can comprise creating an application object in the cloud-based collaboration environment. The application object can comprise an object accessible only through an associated application. One or more users of the application object can be added to the application object and permissions for accessing the application object can be defined for the users. One or more content items of content items stored in a repository maintained by the collaboration server can be added to the application object and permissions for accessing the content items can be defined for the users. The permissions for accessing the application object for the users can be independent of the permissions for accessing the content items for the users.

  • Publication number: 20250358138
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for curating access-only content items of user groups in a cloud-based collaboration environment by creating a content hub in the cloud-based collaboration environment. The content hub can comprise a logical representation of a collection of content items stored in a repository. The content hub can be populated with hub information defining the content hub and selected content items of the content items stored in the repository can be added to the content hub. The content hub can then be published in the cloud-based collaboration environment with the selected content items added to the content hub being available for access only to one or more users.

  • Patent number: 10585886
    Abstract: Systems and methods for information retrieval are provided that permit users and/or processing entities to access and define synthetic data, synthetic objects, and/or synthetic groupings of data in one or more collections of information. In one embodiment, data access on an information retrieval system can occur through an interpretation layer which interprets any synthetic data against data physically stored in the collection. Synthetic data can define virtual data objects, virtual data elements, virtual data attributes, virtual data groupings, and/or data entities that can be interpreted against data that may be stored physically in the collection of information. The system and methods for information retrieval can return results from the one or more collections of information based not only on the data stored, but also on the virtual data generated from interpretation of the stored data.

  • Publication number: 20200065313
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for managing content objects in a content management system. A metadata template is assigned to a content object of the content management system. Extensible metadata pertaining to the content object is allocated in accordance with the assigned metadata template. Various operations over the content object result in population of the allocated extensible metadata. When the content object is subjected to a workflow, the execution flow and/or the form of responses associated with execution of the workflow are informed by the populated extensible metadata. A single content object can take on an association with multiple sets of extensible metadata and each set of extensible metadata can take on association with a respective workflow.

  • Publication number: 20190213189
    Abstract: Systems and methods for information retrieval are provided that permit users and/or processing entities to access and define synthetic data, synthetic objects, and/or synthetic groupings of data in one or more collections of information. In one embodiment, data access on an information retrieval system can occur through an interpretation layer which interprets any synthetic data against data physically stored in the collection. Synthetic data can define virtual data objects, virtual data elements, virtual data attributes, virtual data groupings, and/or data entities that can be interpreted against data that may be stored physically in the collection of information. The system and methods for information retrieval can return results from the one or more collections of information based not only on the data stored, but also on the virtual data generated from interpretation of the stored data.
