Abstract

One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for profile management are provided herein. In one or more embodiments, a first entity may create a profile by providing content via an interface or a first interface. A second entity may manage one or more aspects of the profile via a second interface. The amount of control the second entity has over one or more portions of the profile may be related to or based on content of the profile or a relationship between the first entity and the second entity. For example, the second entity may screen content of the profile from public view. Additionally, profiles may be searched internally within an organization or externally, such as for outsourcing or to provide vendors or clients with more customized solutions. In this manner, profile management is provided.

Claims

1. A system for profile management, comprising:

a first management component enabling a first entity to manage one or more portions of a profile according to a first set of rights;

a second management component enabling a second entity to manage one or more portions of the profile according to a second set of rights different than the first set of rights; and

a content control component determining the first set of rights or the second set of rights based on content of one or more portions of the profile,

wherein the first management component, the second management component, or the content control component is implemented via a processing unit.

2. The system of claim 1, comprising an interface component providing:

a first interface for the first entity based on the first set of rights; and

a second interface for the second entity based on the second set of rights.

3. The system of claim 1, comprising an aggregation component collecting content for the profile from one or more sources.

4. The system of claim 1, comprising a storage component storing the profile, one or more portions of the profile, the first set of rights, or the second set of rights.

5. The system of claim 1, comprising a preview component previewing the profile for the first entity, the second entity, or a third entity based on the first set of rights, the second set or rights, or a third set or rights, respectively.

6. The system of claim 1, comprising a matching component enabling the second entity to search one or more portions of the profile based on the second set of rights.

7. The system of claim 1, comprising a communication component notifying the first entity of one or more management actions taken by the second entity with respect to one or more portions of the profile.

8. The system of claim 1, comprising a communication component notifying the second entity of one or more management actions taken by the first entity with respect to one or more portions of the profile.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the first entity is an employee and the second entity is an employer.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the managing comprises adding, providing, modifying, updating, deleting, removing, posting, sharing, or controlling content, data, or information associated with the profile.

11. A method for profile management, comprising:

enabling a first entity to manage one or more portions of a profile according to a first set of rights;

enabling a second entity to manage one or more portions of the profile according to a second set of rights different than the first set of rights; and

determining the first set of rights or the second set of rights based on a relationship between the first entity and the second entity,

wherein the enabling the first entity, the enabling the second entity, or the determining is implemented via a processing unit.

12. The method of claim 11, comprising collecting content for the profile from one or more sources.

13. The method of claim 11, comprising previewing the profile for the first entity, the second entity, or a third entity based on the first set of rights, the second set or rights, or a third set or rights, respectively.

14. The method of claim 11, comprising enabling the second entity to search one or more portions of the profile based on the second set of rights.

15. The method of claim 11, comprising matching the first entity with one or more opportunities based on one or more portions of the profile and one or more attributes associated with one or more of the opportunities.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein one or more of the opportunities is a mentorship relationship between the first entity and one or more additional entities.

17. A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions, which when executed via a processing unit on a computer performs acts, comprising:

enabling one or more entities to manage one or more portions of one or more profiles;

enabling an additional entity to search one or more portions of one or more of the profiles based on a set of rights; and

matching one or more of the entities with the additional entity based on search criteria of the additional entity.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, comprising previewing the profile for the additional entity.

19. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein one or more of the entities is a vendor and the additional entity is a supplier.

20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein one or more of the entities is a supplier and the additional entity is a vendor.
