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.

Abstract
A message router for routing data repository messages between a plurality of computer systems, wherein the computer systems include data repositories having disparate syntaxes. The message router can include a conversion engine for translating content in a received 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.

7. A non-transitory machine-readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
-
in a central message router, receiving a data repository message from an originating computer system, said data repository message conforming to a first syntax and said message router remotely located from said originating computer system; recognizing based upon data contained in the data repository message the syntax corresponding to the data repository of the originating computer system; determining from the data contained in the data repository message a target computer system to which said received data repository message is directed, said target computer system remotely located from said originating computer system and said message router; based on said determined target computer system determined on the basis of the data contained in the data repository message, identifying a second syntax corresponding to said target computer system, wherein said first syntax and said second syntax are disparate; converting content in said received data repository message from said first syntax to said second syntax, the conversion being effected by said message router and based upon syntax information contained in a translation library residing on said message router; and sending said received and converted data repository message to said target computer system; wherein the originating computer system and the target computer system each belongs to a different information management system of a different entity; wherein a syntax refers to particular naming conventions used for content stored within particular computer systems; and wherein the originating computer system and the target computer system are registered with the central message router to provide cross references of the disparate syntaxes in the translation library. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A non-transitory machine-readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
-
in a message router, receiving a data repository message from an originating computer system, said data repository message conforming to a first syntax, and said message router remotely located from said originating computer system; recognizing based upon data contained in the data repository message the first syntax corresponding to the data repository of the originating computer system; determining from the data contained in the data repository message a plurality of target computer systems to which said received data repository message is directed, said target computer systems each being remotely located from said originating computer system and said message router; based on said determined plurality of target computer systems determined on the basis of the data contained in the data repository message, identifying at least one syntax for particular ones of said plurality of target computer systems, wherein said at least one identified syntax and said first syntax are disparate; converting content in said received data repository message from said first syntax to said at least one syntax of said particular ones of said plurality of target computer systems, the conversion being effected by said message router and based upon syntax information contained in a translation library residing on said message router; and sending said received and converted data repository message to said particular ones of said plurality of target computer systems; wherein the originating computer system and the target computer systems each belongs to a different information management system of a different entity; wherein a syntax refers to particular naming conventions used for content stored within particular computer systems; and wherein the originating computer system and the target computer systems are registered with the central message router to provide cross references of the disparate syntaxes in the translation library. - View Dependent Claims (10)
