1. A system for routing data repository messages among disparate information management systems, comprising:

  • a plurality of computer systems, each computer system belonging to a different information management system of a different entity and having a data repository for storing data according to a different syntax, wherein a syntax refers to particular naming conventions used for content stored within particular computer systems; and

    a central message router in communication with, and remotely located from, each of the plurality of computer systems,wherein the message router includes a conversion engine to translate content in a received data repository message from a syntax corresponding to a data repository of an originating computer system to a syntax corresponding to a data repository of at least one target computer system;

    wherein the message router is configured to recognize from data contained in the data repository message the syntax corresponding to the data repository of the originating computer system, to identify from data contained in the data repository message the at least one target computer system, and to recognize based on the identity of the at least one target computer system the syntax corresponding to the data repository of the at least one target computer system;

    wherein the message router further includes a translation library configured to store information for converting each of the different syntaxes into each other of the different syntaxes, the plurality of computer systems being registered with the central message router to provide cross references of the different syntaxes in the translation library.
