Method and system for sharing web components between web sites
First Claim
1. A method of sharing objects between web sites, the method comprising:
- storing a reference in a first site repository for a first web site on a network,wherein the network comprises multiple sites, each site of the multiple sites on the network has a section in a shared repository and an associated site repository,wherein the storing is performed by an application server based on a first privilege granted with respect to the first web site, the application server communicatively connected to a web server and to a database management system,wherein the first web site comprises a first collection of objects,wherein the first collection of objects for the first web site is stored in the database management system, the database management system embodied on an apparatus communicatively connected to the application server, the first collection of objects given a first identity and implemented to provide a common look, feel, and navigational structure of the first web site that distinguishes the first web site from the multiple sites on the network,wherein the reference stored in the first site repository is associated with an object of the first collection of objects for the first web site, andwherein the reference contains information for accessing the object;
executing a share type administration operation for making the object available for reuse by a second web site on the network, the share type administration operation comprising making a duplicate of the reference that is stored in the first site repository for the first web site, the share type administration operation performed by the application server; and
storing the duplicate of the reference in a shared repository that is available to the second web site or in a second site repository for the second web site, thereby making the object available for reuse by the second web site,wherein the second web site comprises a second collection of objects, the second collection of objects given a second identity and implemented to provide a common look, feel, and navigational structure of the second web site that distinguishes the second web site from the multiple sites on the network.

Abstract
The sharing of objects may be executed by performing various share type administrations. Objects may be shared directly to a site or may be made available indirectly for reuse by a site. The objects shared and made available for reuse may be added to the site to which they are shared and made available for reuse. References to the objects shared and made available for reuse are stored in repositories in response to, and in accordance with, the share type administration performed. The storage of the references to objects is based on privileges associated with at least one of a repository, a site and a user. Objects made available for reuse by, and shared to, a site may be made unavailable for reuse by, and unshared to, the site through the execution of a share type administration.
