1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by an electronic device, a modular document that is composed of plural parts, wherein at least a particular one of the parts is associated with an access right policy that restricts access to the particular part;
in response to a request to access the modular document, determining based on the access right policy whether content of the particular part is accessible in the electronic device;
in response to determining that the content of the particular part is inaccessible in the electronic device, accessing an access mechanism associated with the particular part to determine an action to take with respect to the particular part when presenting the modular document; and
modifying the content of the particular part using the access mechanism, wherein the modifying is selected from among producing a summary of the content of the particular part and adding an annotation with respect to the particular part.

Abstract
A modular document is composed of plural parts, where at least a particular one of the parts is associated with an access right policy that restricts access to the particular part. In response to a request to access the modular document, it is determined based on the access right policy whether content of the particular part is accessible in an electronic device. In response to determining that the content of the particular part is inaccessible in the electronic device, an access mechanism associated with the particular part is accessed to determine an action to take with respect to the particular part when presenting the modular document.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by an electronic device, a modular document that is composed of plural parts, wherein at least a particular one of the parts is associated with an access right policy that restricts access to the particular part; in response to a request to access the modular document, determining based on the access right policy whether content of the particular part is accessible in the electronic device; in response to determining that the content of the particular part is inaccessible in the electronic device, accessing an access mechanism associated with the particular part to determine an action to take with respect to the particular part when presenting the modular document, wherein accessing the access mechanism comprises accessing a conditional update program that defines how the particular part is to be modified if the content of the particular part is inaccessible when attempting to present the modular document; executing the conditional update program to modify the content of the particular part, wherein modifying the content of the particular part comprises producing a summary or a redacted version of the content of the particular part or adding an annotation with respect to the particular part; and presenting the modular document with the modified content of the particular part. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. An electronic device comprising:
-
a non-transitory storage media to store a modular document that is composed of plural parts; and a processor to; associate an access right policy with at least a particular one of the parts that defines one or more criteria under which content of the particular part is inaccessible; and associate a conditional update program with the particular part that defines how the particular part is to be modified when presenting the modular document when the content of the particular part is inaccessible based on the access right policy; execute the conditional update program to modify the content of the particular part, wherein modifying the content of the particular part comprises producing a summary or a redacted version of the content of the particular part or adding an annotation with respect to the particular part; and present the modular document with the modified content of the particular part. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. An article comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that upon execution cause an electronic device to:
-
receive a modular document that is composed of plural component documents that are to be combined to allow presentation of the modular document, wherein at least a particular one of the component documents is associated with an access right policy that restricts access to the particular component document; in response to a request to access the modular document, determine based on the access right policy whether content of the particular component document is accessible in the electronic device; in response to determining that the content of the particular component document is inaccessible in the electronic device, access an access mechanism associated with the particular component document to determine an action to take with respect to the particular component document when presenting the modular document; and modify content of the particular component document using the access mechanism, wherein the modifying is selected from among producing a summary of the content of the particular component document and adding an annotation with respect to the particular component document. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
