  • System and method for utilizing a common framework for portal administration tools
    Patent number: 8065415
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for generating custom administrative tools. An administrative framework is provided that abstracts the implementation of certain administrative functions. A management Application Programming Interface (API) receives calls submitted in a preconfigured format from interface components generated by a developer or third party. The management API processes the calls and performs the functions associated with the calls. Multiple implementations are provided, through which an interface component can access the management API.

  • System and method for improved web portal design through control tree file utilization
    Publication number: 20070006069
    Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and mechanisms for organizing portal content that can enable a newly created portal element, i.e., a subsection of a portal, to be persisted as an externally, self-contained entity that can be created for the element and referenced by a control tree for the portal. A control tree includes information organized hierarchically or otherwise that is used to control serving of portal content. Externally persisted self-contained entities can be created for many types of portal elements.
