Abstract

A system may include a communications device. The system may further include a content editor executed by said communications device and configured to present a content element including a plurality of contexts, each of said plurality of contexts associated with a version of content items to be included in a content presentation and a set of context attributes descriptive of user attributes for which said context is to be provided.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium tangibly embodying computer-executable instructions, the instructions being executable to provide operations comprising:

maintaining content elements to be included in a content presentation, each content element including a plurality of contexts to be selectively provided as the content element in the content presentation according to user attributes, each of said plurality of contexts associated with a set of context attributes descriptive of user attributes for which said context is to be provided as the content element in the content presentation and including a version of content items to be included in the content presentation as the content element;

associating, by a communications device executing a content editor, context attributes with contexts of a content element to be included in a content presentation; and

associating, by the communications device executing the content editor, content items with contexts of the content element corresponding to said associated context attributes.

2. The computer readable medium of claim 1, further including instructions executable to provide operations comprising:

receiving a client request for said content presentation from the communications device;

determining which of the plurality of contexts of the content item to retrieve according to user attributes associated with the communications device; and

providing the content item associated with the respective context to the communications device in response to the client request.

3. The computer readable medium of claim 2, further comprising determining said respective context by identifying one of said plurality of context whose context attributes best match said user attributes.

4. The computer readable medium of claim 1, further including instructions executable to provide operations comprising determining said user attributes by retrieving data stored in a cookie at the communications device.

5. The computer readable medium of claim 1, further including instructions executable to provide operations comprising maintaining each of the content elements as an extensible markup (XML) file in a data store.
