22. A method, the method comprising:
-
indicating, through a database system, content dimensions to a user of a computer, each of the content dimensions including one or more content dimension values assigned to each of a plurality of files; receiving input from the user of the computer specifying one or more of the content dimension values; identifying, by the database system, one or more of the files predetermined to be associated with the one or more specified content dimension values; receiving input from the user of the computer specifying a file from the one or more identified files; for each section of the file; determining, by the database system, that there is not at least one user value for at least one community dimension that matches at least one community dimension assigned to the section of the file, the at least one user value indicating at least one community with which the user of the computer is associated and the at least one community dimension assigned to the section of the file indicating at least one community of users permitted to access the section of the file; determining, by the database system and based upon one or more predefined rules, membership of a group permitted to access the section of the file; providing, through the database system to the user of the computer, access to the section of the file when the at least one user value has membership to the group permitted to access the section of the file; and denying the user of the computer access to the section of the file when the at least one user value does not have membership to the group permitted to access the section of the file; wherein the community to which each section of the file is assigned and the community to which the user is associated each include a group of people; wherein when a subsequent user publishes a file for storage with the plurality of files, the file published by the subsequent user is assigned a community dimension that matches a user value of at least one community dimension to which the subsequent user is associated. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
