Abstract
A system, method and software for rule-based content management are provided that can be employed in a variety of computing environments. Examples of such computing environments include a single computer, computer network environments, and client-server environments. Generally, the method involves the use of rules to effect content management. One example of a rule defines relationships between and among a content event, predetermined content, and action to be taken concerning the predetermined content. Initially, the method involves detection of the occurrence of a content event such as, for example, creation or modification of a file at some location in the environment. After the content event is detected, the associated content is identified. The rules applicable to such content are then consulted and the various actions specified by such rules, such as backup and distribution of the content for example, are implemented with respect to the identified content.
