1. A computer-implemented method for publishing collaboration information to a network, comprising:
- associating presentation information with a collaboration schema that corresponds to the collaboration information, wherein the collaboration schema describes formatting associated with the presentation information;
deriving a first publication schema from the collaboration schema, wherein the first publication schema is in an inheritance relationship with the collaboration schema, such that changes to the collaboration schema are automatically reflected in the first publication schema;
creating a second publication schema, the second publication schema comprising additional properties;
copying the additional properties from the second publication schema into the first publication schema; and
publishing the collaboration information to the network according to the first publication schema.

Abstract
A computer-implemented process takes content created collaboratively from a workgroup environment and converts it into a scheduled web page that is publishable on the Internet. The computer-implemented process loosely relates the generated collaboration content and the published web page such that each may be independently modified and have independent life cycles, but still reflect changes to the collaboration content on the published web page.

11. A computer-readable storage medium that includes computer-executable instructions for publishing collaboration information to a network, the computer-executable instructions comprising instructions for:
-
associating presentation information with a collaboration schema that corresponds to collaboration information on a collaboration site, wherein the collaboration schema describes formatting associated with the presentation information; deriving a first publication schema from the collaboration schema, wherein the first publication schema inherits from the collaboration schema, such that changes to the collaboration schema are automatically reflected in the first publication schema; creating a second publication schema, the second publication schema comprising additional properties; copying the additional properties from the second publication schema into the first publication schema; and using the first publication schema to publish the collaboration information to the network, wherein the published collaboration information and the collaboration information of the collaboration site are associated such that changes to the collaboration information of the collaboration are reflected in the published collaboration information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for publishing collaboration information to a network, comprising:
-
a computing device; and a set of computer-executable instructions located in memory on the computing device, the computer-executable instructions comprising instructions for; associating presentation information with a collaboration schema that corresponds to collaboration information on a collaboration site, wherein the collaboration schema describes formatting associated with the presentation information; deriving a first publication schema from the collaboration schema, wherein the first publication schema inherits from the collaboration schema, such that changes to the collaboration schema are automatically reflected in the first publication schema; creating a second publication schema, the second publication schema comprising additional properties; copying the additional properties from the second publication schema into the first publication schema; copying the collaboration information from the collaboration site to a publication page in accordance with the first publication schema, wherein the changes to the collaboration information on the collaboration site are reflected automatically in the collaboration information copied to the network; and associating the publication page with the collaboration information of the collaboration site such that changes to the collaboration information and the publication page are both reflected on the network. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
