Abstract

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for creating a session document from a presentation document that include identifying a presentation document for a presentation. In typical embodiments, the presentation document includes a presentation grammar and a structured document having structural elements classified with classification identifiers. Typical embodiments include identifying a user participant for the presentation, the user having a user profile comprising user classifications and filtering the structured document in dependence upon the user classifications and the classification identifiers. In typical embodiments, identifying a presentation document includes inserting in a list a location for the presentation document. In typical embodiments, identifying a user includes inserting in a list a user identification identifying a user in a presentation participant list.

Claims

1. A method for creating a session document from a presentation document, the method comprising:

identifying a presentation document for a presentation, the presentation document including a presentation grammar and a structured document having structural elements classified with classification identifiers;

identifying a user participant for the presentation, the user having a user profile comprising user classifications; and

filtering the structured document in dependence upon the user classifications and the classification identifiers to create a session document.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein identifying a presentation document includes inserting in a list a location for the presentation document.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein identifying a user includes inserting in a list a user identification identifying a user in a presentation participant list.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein filtering the structured document comprises:

extracting, from the structured document, structural elements having classification identifiers corresponding to the user classifications; and

writing the extracted structural elements into a session structured document in the session document.

5. The method of claim 4 further comprising filtering the presentation grammar, in dependence upon the extracted structural elements, into a session grammar in the session document.

6. The method of claim 4 further comprising storing the location of the session document in a session document list.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising creating a presentation document, including:

creating, in dependence upon an original document, a structured document comprising one or more structural elements;

classifying a structural element of the structured document according to a presentation attribute; and

creating a presentation grammar for the structured document, wherein the presentation grammar for the structured document includes grammar elements each of which includes an identifier for at least one structural element of the structured document.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein classifying a structural element comprises:

identifying a presentation attribute for the structural element;

identifying a classification identifier in dependence upon the presentation attribute; and

inserting the classification identifier in association with the structural element in the structured document.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein creating a presentation grammar for the structured document comprises:

identifying the content type of the original document;

selecting, in dependence upon the content type, a full presentation grammar from among a multiplicity of full presentation grammars; and

filtering the full presentation grammar into a presentation grammar for the structured document in dependence upon the structural elements of the structured document.

10. A system for creating a session document from a presentation document, the system comprising:

means for identifying a presentation document for a presentation, the presentation document including a presentation grammar and a structured document having structural elements classified with classification identifiers;

means for identifying a user participant for the presentation, the user having a user profile comprising user classifications; and

means for filtering the structured document in dependence upon the user classifications and the classification identifiers to create a session document.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein means for identifying a presentation document includes means for inserting in a list a location for the presentation document.

12. The system of claim 10 wherein means for identifying a user includes means for inserting in a list a user identification identifying a user in a presentation participant list.

13. The system of claim 10 wherein means for filtering the structured document comprises:

means for extracting, from the structured document, structural elements having classification identifiers corresponding to the user classifications; and

means for writing the extracted structural elements into a session structured document in the session document.

14. The system of claim 13 further comprising means for filtering the presentation grammar, in dependence upon the extracted structural elements, into a session grammar in the session document.

15. The system of claim 13 further comprising means for storing the location of the session document in a session document list.

16. The system of claim 10 further comprising means for creating a presentation document, including:

means for creating, in dependence upon an original document, a structured document comprising one or more structural elements;

means for classifying a structural element of the structured document according to a presentation attribute; and

means for creating a presentation grammar for the structured document, wherein the presentation grammar for the structured document includes grammar elements each of which includes an identifier for at least one structural element of the structured document.

17. The system of claim 16 wherein means for classifying a structural element comprises:

means for identifying a presentation attribute for the structural element;

means for identifying a classification identifier in dependence upon the presentation attribute; and

means for inserting the classification identifier in association with the structural element in the structured document.

18. The system of claim 16 wherein means for creating a presentation grammar for the structured document comprises:

means for identifying the content type of the original document;

means for selecting, in dependence upon the content type, a full presentation grammar from among a multiplicity of full presentation grammars; and

means for filtering the full presentation grammar into a presentation grammar for the structured document in dependence upon the structural elements of the structured document.

19. A computer program product for creating a session document from a presentation document, the computer program product comprising:

a recording medium;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a presentation document for a presentation, the presentation document including a presentation grammar and a structured document having structural elements classified with classification identifiers;
