System and method for providing lifecycles for custom content in a virtual content repository
First Claim
1. A method for providing a lifecycle for information in virtual content repository (VCR), comprising:
- defining a plurality of statesand one or more transitions to interconnect and impose an order on the plurality of states;
transitioning at least a portion of the information that is associated with a first state of the plurality of states to a second state of the plurality of states according to a first transition of the one or more transitions; and
invoking at least one action associated with the second state, the action allowing a change in privileges relating to the information from privileges in the first state for at least one of a class of users and a class of processes;
wherein the information is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the VCR; and
wherein the information can include at least one of;
content and schema information.

Abstract
In embodiments, a system and method for providing a lifecycle for information in virtual content repository (VCR) are provided. A method embodiment includes defining a plurality states and one or more transitions to interconnect and impose an order on the plurality of states, wherein the information can be in a first state of the plurality of states and can transition to a second state of the plurality of states according to a first transition of the one or more transitions, wherein the information is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the VCR; and, wherein the information can include at least one of: content and schema information.

10. A system for providing a lifecycle for information, comprising:
-
a virtual information repository (VCR) including a plurality of repositories integrated into the VCR; a state machine to govern a plurality of states according to one or more transitions to interconnect and impose an order on the plurality of states; and a mechanism to invoke at least one action associated with at least one state of the plurality of states, the action allowing a change in privileges relating to the information in a first state of the plurality of states from privileges in a second state of the plurality of states according to a first transition of the one or more transitions; wherein the information is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the plurality of repositories; and wherein the information can include at least one of;
content and schema information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by one or more processors cause a system to:
-
define a plurality of states; define one or more transitions to interconnect and impose an order on the plurality of states; transition at least a portion of the information that is associated with a first state of the plurality of states to a second state of the plurality of states according to a first transition of the one or more transitions; and invoke at least one action associated with the second state, the action allowing a change in privileges relating to the information from privileges in the first state for at least one of a class of users and a class of processes; wherein the information is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the VCR; and wherein the information can include at least one of;
content and schema information. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method for transmitting a computer data signal embodied in a transmission medium, comprising:
-
transmitting a code segment including instructions to define a plurality of states and one or more transitions to interconnect and impose an order on the plurality of states; transmitting a code segment including instructions to transition at least a portion of the information that is associated with a first state of the plurality of states to a second state of the plurality of states according to a first transition of the one or more transitions; and transmitting a code segment including instructions to invoke at least one action associated with the second state, the action allowing a chance in privileges relating to the information from privileges in the first state for at least one of a class of users and a class of processes; wherein the information is accessible through a logical namespace that encompasses the VCR; and wherein the information can include at least one of;
content and schema information.
