  • Maintaining consistency between a transactional database system and a non-transactional content repository for document objects
    Patent number: 10534769
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to maintaining consistency in a content management system. A content management system generally includes a transactional database for storing content metadata and a non-transactional data repository for storing content. According to one embodiment, a content management system generates a set of content identifiers. The content management system receives a request to upload content to the content management system. Upon receiving the request, the content management system associates the content with a content identifier from the set of content identifiers and generates a name for the content from the content identifier. The content management system stores the content, with the generated name, in a non-transactional data repository and persists metadata related to the content in a transactional data store.

  • Extended system for accessing electronic documents with revision history in non-compatible repositories
    Patent number: 8332359
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles for creating a document revision history for a document imported into a first Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) from a second EDMS. Metadata and content from the second EDMS is “mirrored” within the first EDMS to create an artificial or mirrored revision history of a document within the first EDMS. Doing so allows users of the first EDMS to access any version of a document and its history, as though the document had always existed on the first EDMS. Content may be stored onto the first EDMS or a reference to the content may be stored instead. Rules may be developed to resolve conflicts between different document versions in the first and second EDMS.
