Abstract

Some embodiments include a method of operating an enterprise content curation system. For example, the method can include recording an association between a content item with a first contributor account in response to receiving a first content contribution activity; receiving a command to share the content item with a second contributor account; recording a second content contribution activity associated with the second contributor account; and computing an impact score for the first contributor account based on the second content contribution activity.

Claims

1. A method of operating a computer system to incentivize participation in enterprise-level knowledge management, comprising:

associating a content item in a content board with a contributor account;

generating a map between one or more content items, one or more contributor profiles, and one or more organizations, the map indicating how the content items are shared amongst the organizations and the contributor profiles;

computing a contributor impact analytic for the contributor account based on the map; and

providing a content curation interface to share and curate the content board including at least one of the content items, the content curation interface providing at least the contributor impact analytic for the contributor account associated with the content board.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the content curation interface includes providing a link to at least one of the content items on the content curation interface via a web-based storage service.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the map includes tracking a path of how the content board is shared through the map;

and wherein providing the content curation interface includes providing a representation of the path on the content curation interface.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein providing the representation of the path includes preventing an identity of a contributor profile involved in the path from being provided through the content curation interface based on a permission and confidentiality setting of the contributor profile.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein computing the contributor impact analytic includes computing the contributor impact analytic for a derivative content from one of the content items that is associated with the first contributor account;

and wherein providing the content curation interface includes providing the contributor impact analytic of the derivative content through the content curation interface.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the map includes associating the content board, including multiple content items, with the contributor account and a first organization;

and wherein providing the content curation interface includes maintaining the content board as a single unit for sharing.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the content curation interface includes providing access to the content curation interface through a website link with a cryptographic key as a parameter to access the content curation interface for the content board.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the content curation interface includes maintaining an email inbox associated with an email address to receive an attached content item in an email, the attached content item destined to be part of the content board.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein computing the contributor impact analytic includes tallying how many unique people have viewed the content board.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein computing the contributor impact analytic includes tallying access activities of a specific type to the content board.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the specific type is viewing, editing, commenting, rating, recommending, sharing, following, or copying the content item.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the map includes associating at least one of the contributor profiles with at least one of the organizations by accessing a directory via a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP).

13. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the map includes populating a profile attribute of one of the contributor profiles by accessing a social network account associated with the contributor profile.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the map includes maintaining a familial content relationship between content items originated from a source content item via a complete or partial copying of the source content item.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

recording a content curation activity associated with the content board through an instance of the content curation interface of another contributor account; and

updating the contributor impact analytic for the contributor account based on the content curation activity.

16. A method of operating an enterprise content curation system comprising:

recording an association between a content item with a first contributor account in response to receiving a first content contribution activity;

receiving a command to share the content item with a second contributor account;

recording a second content contribution activity associated with the second contributor account; and

computing an impact score for the first contributor account based on the second content contribution activity.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising recognizing a top contributor from amongst a group of contributor accounts in an enterprise organization based on the impact score.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising crediting a reward incentive to the top contributor.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein the impact score is based on a number of relevancy approvals, recommendations, content shares, content views, or any combination thereof.

20. The method of claim 16, wherein the impact score is based on content rating, content access frequency, content update frequency, content share frequency, or any combination thereof.

21. The method of claim 16, wherein computing the impact score includes normalizing the impact score against impact scores of the group.

22. The method of claim 16, wherein the first contributor account is associated with a first enterprise company and the second contributor account is associated with a second enterprise company.

23. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

determining an interaction pattern of at least content access activities and content contribution activities of the second contributor account; and

displaying the interaction pattern in a content curation interface for the first contributor account along with the impact score.

24. The method of claim 16, further comprising computing a content relevancy score for the content item based on at least one of the first content contribution activity, the second content contribution activity, and content access activities of other user accounts.

25. A system for facilitating content curation in one or more enterprises, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device storing executable instructions, that, when executed by the processor, is configured to;

record an association between a content item with a first contributor account in response to receiving a first content contribution activity;

receive a command to share the content item with a second contributor account;

record a second content contribution activity associated with the second contributor account;

compute an impact score for the first contributor account based on the second content contribution activity; and

generate a content curation interface to display the impact score associated with the first contributor account.
