  • Publication number: 20060047663
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for aiding a user in navigating documents containing hyperlinks is provided. In one embodiment, the system retrieves, in response to a user request, a document from a network location. The system parses the document for hyperlinks and responsive to detecting a hyperlink, sends a request for at least a portion of the secondary document associated with the hyperlinks to a server. The portion contains information sufficient to determine relevance of the secondary document to the user. The system then receives the information from the server and compares the information within the portion of the secondary document to reader preferences. Based on the results of the comparison of the information with the reader preferences, the system modifies the appearance of the hyperlink.

  • Publication number: 20050005237
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for a document publication monitoring and management system which provides a centralized multidimensional master index of documents from a plurality of independent repositories is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a monitoring unit on each of a plurality of contributor data processing systems, a document index hub, and a plurality of remote document repositories. The document index hub includes a stager, a deployer, a relayer; and at least one channel which is mapped to one or more physical storage devices. The stager translates channel information provided in the meta data of a published document to remote computer names and queues a file containing document transfer instructions to the deployer. The deployer performs file transfer instructions received from the stager and responsive to transfer fail, retries the transfer at specified time intervals. The relayer forwards meta data about the published document to an index hub to be cataloged.
