Abstract

Providing access to content is disclosed. An indication of a context is received. Access is provided to a context-relevant subset of a body of managed content. In some cases, the context-relevant subset includes a document relevant to the content.

Claims

1. A method of providing access to content comprising:

receiving an indication of a context associated with a business object, the context comprising role information associated with a user, the context determined based at least in part on a broadcasted event, the event broadcast including an identifier associated with the business object, a type associated with the business object identifier, and an identification of an action that initiated the event associated with the event broadcast; and

providing, based at least in part on the indication of the context, access to a first context-relevant subset of a body of managed content that is linked to the business object, wherein at least a portion of the body of managed content is accessed at a remote content management system using metadata stored in association with the business object and at the remote content management system to manage the portion of the body of managed content and wherein the first context-relevant subset includes content relevant to the role information associated with the user and a second context-relevant subset includes content relevant to another role information.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first context-relevant subset comprises a document relevant to the context.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein providing access comprises:

finding a context-relevant document; and

displaying the context-relevant document.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the broadcasted event includes a broadcasted portal event.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the broadcasted portal event is a select event.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the context is determined based at least in part on a payload of the broadcasted event.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the body of managed content is located in a document repository.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the context is a business context associated with a business object.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the first context-relevant subset comprises one or more documents relevant to the context.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein a displayed subset of the first context-relevant subset is displayed based at least in part on a configuration.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the displayed subset is determined based at least in part on a credential.

12. A system for providing access to content comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to;

receive an indication of a context associated with a business object, the context comprising role information associated with a user, the context determined based at least in part on a broadcasted event, the event broadcast including an identifier associated with the business object, a type associated with the business obiect identifier, and an identification of an action that initiated the event associated with the event broadcast;

provide, based at least in part on the indication of the context, access to a first context-relevant subset of a body of managed content that is linked to the business object, wherein at least a portion of the body of managed content is accessed at a remote content management system using metadata stored in association with the business object and at the remote content management system to manage the portion of the body of managed content and wherein the first context-relevant subset includes content relevant to the role information associated with the user and a second context-relevant subset includes content relevant to another role information.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein the first context-relevant subset comprises a document relevant to the context.

14. The system of claim 12 wherein providing access comprises:

finding a context-relevant document; and

displaying the context-relevant document.

15. The system of claim 12 wherein the broadcasted event includes a broadcasted portal event.

16. The system of claim 15 wherein the broadcasted portal event is a select event.

17. The system of claim 12 wherein the context is determined based at least in part on a payload of the broadcasted event.

18. The system of claim 12 wherein the body of managed content is located in a document repository.

19. The system of claim 12 wherein the context is a business context associated with a business object.

20. A computer program product to provide access to content, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving an indication of a context associated with a business object, the context comprising role information associated with a user, the context determined based at least in part on a broadcasted event, the event broadcast including an identifier associated with the business object, a type associated with the business object identifier, and an identification of an action that initiated the event associated with the event broadcast; and

providing, based at least in part on the indication of the context, access to a first context-relevant subset of a body of managed content that is linked to the business object, wherein at least a portion of the body of managed content is accessed at a remote content management system using metadata stored in association with the business object and at the remote content management system to manage the portion of the body of managed content and wherein the first context-relevant subset includes content relevant to the role information associated with the user and a second context-relevant subset includes content relevant to another role information.
