Abstract

Exemplary systems and methods for managing content of documents are provided. Only the sections of a document that have been revised or added are processed. An original document is retrieved and content is revised or added as desired. The revised or added content may be stored. When it is desired to process the revised or added content, the revised or added content is retrieved. XML files that describe the revised or added content are created, and the revised or added content is processed. For example, the processing may include translating the content. After the revised or added content is processed, XML files that describe the processed revised or added content are parsed and the processed revised or added content is stored. When desired, the processed revised or added content is retrieved and a revised document that includes the revised or added content is generated.

Claims

1. A method for managing content of a document, the method comprising:

retrieving an original document;

performing at least one of revising and adding content to the original document;

creating first markup language files describing at least one of revised content and added content;

parsing second markup language files describing at least one of revised content and added content that has been processed; and

generating a revised document that includes at least one of processed revised content and processed added content.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein creating the first markup language file includes:

placing a reference to the original document in the first markup language file; and

extracting at least one of the revised content and added content to the first markup language file.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein parsing the second markup language files includes:

reading the second markup language files; and

determining actions to be taken responsive to tags in the second markup language files.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the markup language includes extensible markup language.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the markup language includes at least one of hypertext markup language and standard generalized markup language.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the document includes a Web page.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising processing the at least one of revised content and added content.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein processing the at least one of revised content and added content includes translating the at least one of revised content and added content contained in the first markup language files from a first language to a second language that is different from the first language.

9. A method for managing content of a web page, the method comprising:

retrieving an original web page;

performing at least one of revising and adding content to the original web page;

creating first extensible markup language files describing at least one of revised content and added content;

parsing second extensible markup language files describing at least one of revised content and added content that has been processed; and

generating a revised web page that includes at least one of processed revised content and processed added content.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein creating the first extensible markup language file includes:

placing a reference to the original document in the first extensible markup language file; and

extracting at least one of the revised content and added content to the first extensible markup language file.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein parsing the second extensible markup language files includes:

reading the second extensible markup language files; and

determining actions to be taken responsive to tags in the second extensible markup language files.

12. The method of claim 9, further comprising processing the at least one of revised content and added content.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein processing the at least one of revised content and added content includes translating the at least one of revised content and added content contained in the first extensible markup language files from a first language to a second language that is different from the first language.

14. A system for managing content of a document, the system comprising:

a user interface configured to retrieve an original document, the user interface being further configured to at least one of revise content and add content to the original document; and

a processor including;

a first component configured to create first markup language files describing at least one of revised content and added content;

a second component configured to parse second markup language files describing at least one of processed revised content and processed added content; and

a third component configured to generate a revised document that includes at least one of the processed revised content and the processed added content.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the first component is further configured to:

place a reference to the original document in the first markup language file; and

extract at least one of the revised content and added content to the first markup language file.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the second component is further configured to:

read the second markup language files; and

determine actions to be taken responsive to tags in the second markup language files.

17. The system of claim 14, wherein the markup language includes extensible markup language.

18. The system of claim 14, wherein the markup language includes at least one of hypertext markup language and standard generalized markup language.

19. The system of claim 14, wherein the document includes a Web page.

20. The system of claim 14, further comprising a database configured to store at least one of the original document, the at least one of revised content and added content, and the at least one of processed revised content and processed added content.
