Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to systems and methods for managing and publishing content and more specifically to managing and publishing managed content.
- A content management system is a system configured to enable the management and publishing of content stored using the content management system. Content management systems organize and store a variety of content, such as documents, image data, video data, and audio data utilizing a back-end storage system. Content management systems also provide functionality to centralize the publishing of those documents, such as via one or more web sites. By providing centralized functionality for the publishing of documents, a content management system provides a convenient way to host and manage a variety of web sites from a single back-end storage system.
- The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks. Varieties of services are provided on the Internet, including websites. Websites include a variety of content, such as text, pictures, audio data, video data, and other interactive content. Web sites are typically hosted using content servers and a web browser is an application that enables a user to receive, view, and interact with a websites hosted on content servers. A variety of web browsers are commonly used to view websites, including Internet Explorer from Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash. and the Chrome browser from Google, Inc. of Mountain View, Calif.
- Many documents, including web pages within a website, are written using the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). A HTML document contains a set of nested tags. HTML tags include data stored in the tag, either as a property of the tag or between an opening tag and a closing tag. Web browsers do not display the HTML tags; rather, web browsers are configured to parse a HTML document and render one or more web pages including the information stored in the HTML tags. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used to describe the formatting and display of a document when it is rendered. CSS can be used to describe the formatting of a variety of documents, including HTML documents and other documents, such as documents written using the Extensible Markup Language (XML). A single document can have a variety of associated CSS, so that the document can be rendered in a variety of ways depending on the capabilities of the device used to display the document. For example, a HTML document can be rendered with one format in a web browser on a desktop computer using a CSS designed for a desktop browser, while the same HTML document can be rendered in a second format in a web browser running on a mobile phone using a second CSS designed for a mobile browser.
- Many web pages utilize scripts in order to provide flexibility in the creation and display of a web page. Scripts can be written in a variety of languages, including JavaScript by the Mozilla Foundation of Mountain View, Calif. and ECMAScript, standardized as ECMA-262 by ECMA International of Geneva, Switzerland. Web browsers are configured to parse and execute scripts contained in web pages. These scripts can control the appearance of a web page, customize the content according to the preferences of a user viewing the web page, and allow for data to be received using the web page. Scripts can be server-side, where the script is run on a content server, or client-side, where the script is run using the web browser receiving the script.

In a number of embodiments, the managed content and the content changes can be arranged in a hierarchical relationship and generating (314) content includes merging content changes with the managed content, where the generated (314) content utilizes the content changes having the managed content as a common ancestor in the hierarchical relationship. Other techniques, including those utilizing non-hierarchical relationships between pieces of content, such as directed acyclic graphs and ontologies, can be utilized as appropriate to the requirements of specific applications in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
- In several embodiments, the content version metadata generated (418) includes performance data taken from the located (414) managed content. In a number of embodiments, the generated (418) content version metadata includes the determined (416) version data, the author data, the obtained content version metadata, and/or time information. Other data including, but not limited to, branch data, label data, check in/check out data, and merge data, can be included in the content version metadata as appropriate to the requirements of specific applications in accordance with embodiments of the invention. In a variety of embodiments, storing (420) managed content includes storing the generated (418) content version metadata and associating the content version metadata with the located (414) managed content using a hierarchical relationship and/or a graph-based relationship structure. In a variety of embodiments, storing (420) managed content includes unlocking the locked (410) content. Content can be unlocked by modifying the content version metadata associated with the locked (410) content.
- A specific process for obtaining and storing managed content is described above with respect to
FIG. 4 ; however, any number of processes for receiving and storing versioned content can be utilized in accordance with embodiments of the invention. Methods for presenting alternative versions of managed content and tracking the performance of managed content are discussed below. - Content developers often wish to present particular versions of content on particular days and/or test multiple versions of content in order to measure the relative effectiveness of the various versions of content. Versioned content management server systems in accordance with embodiments of the invention are configured to dynamically provide different versions of managed content based on one or more decision factors. A process for dynamically presenting alternative versions of managed content in accordance with embodiments of the invention is illustrated in
FIG. 5 . Theprocess 500 includes obtaining (510) content version decision data. A content request is obtained (512). Managed content is located (514) and transmitted (516). - In a number of embodiments, the obtained (510) content version decision data includes one or more decision factors. Decision factors that can be utilized include the time of a content request, the number of times a particular version of one or more pieces of managed content are provided, the version or versions of the managed content to be transmitted, performance data associated with one or more versions of the managed content, and the device and/or user associated with a content request. Other decision factors can be utilized as appropriate to the requirements of specific applications in accordance with embodiments of the invention. In many embodiments, a content request is obtained (512) and/or managed content is located (514) utilizing processes similar to those described above. In several embodiments, the obtained (512) content request includes the time the request was made, the capabilities of the device providing the content request, and/or user data associated with the content request; other information can be included in the content request as appropriate to the requirements of specific applications in accordance with embodiments of the invention. In a number of embodiments, managed content is located (514) based on the obtained (510) content version decision data and the obtained (512) content request. In a variety of embodiments, the transmitted (516) content is a version of the located (514) managed content generated utilizing processes similar to those described above. In several embodiments, the transmitted (516) content is the located (514) managed content.
- By way of example, by basing the version of the managed content to provide on the time of the request for content, a version of the located (514) managed content can be developed for events on particular days and times (such as holidays and other noteworthy events) in advance of the event and automatically presented in response to obtained (512) content requests on those identified days and times without taking any additional action. When the indicated time and/or event has ended, the original version of the content (or a newer version) is automatically transmitted (520) in response to obtained (512) content requests without any additional work necessary to either update the managed content or roll the managed content back to a previous version. As a second example, multiple variants for the same piece of managed content can be created in order to test the relative performance of the variants of the managed content. The obtained (510) content version decision data indicates the variants of the managed content to present and the desired criteria to transmit (516) a particular version of the located (514) managed content. In several embodiments, the criteria can include (but are not limited to) presenting certain versions of the located (514) managed content based on geolocation data indicating the location of the device from which the content request was obtained (512), the time at which the content request was obtained (512), and/or the number of times each version of the managed content has been transmitted (520). In this way, the obtained (510) content version decision data can be utilized to perform comparison testing of multiple versions of located (514) managed content, geographic-based targeting of content, and/or time-based targeting of content.
- Although a specific process for presenting alternative versions of managed content is described above with respect to
FIG. 5 , any number of processes can be utilized in accordance with embodiments of the invention. Methods for associating performance information with versions of managed content in accordance with embodiments of the invention are discussed below. - It is often useful to track the performance of various versions of managed content. The tracked performance data can be associated with the appropriate versions of the managed content and used to identify those versions that perform well and/or poorly. Versioned content management server systems in accordance with embodiments of the invention are configured to receive and store performance data associated with various versions of managed content. A process for associating performance information with one or more versions of managed content in accordance with embodiments of the invention is illustrated in
FIG. 6 . Theprocess 600 includes obtaining (610) performance information. Managed content is located (612) and content version metadata is updated (614). - In a variety of embodiments, performance information is obtained (610) from content delivery server systems providing content to content display devices. In many embodiments, performance information is obtained (610) from a client display device. In several embodiments, the performance information is obtained (610) based on comparison testing of versions of managed content utilizing processes similar to those described above. In a number of embodiments, the performance information contains engagement data. Systems and methods for determining performance information for content that can be utilized in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/792,855, titled “Systems and Methods for Categorizing and Measuring Engagement with Content” and filed Mar. 11, 2013, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In several embodiments, locating (612) managed content utilizes the obtained (610) performance information to identify the managed content and/or a version of the managed content. In a variety of embodiments, updating (614) the content version metadata includes associating the obtained (610) performance information with the located (612) managed content and/or one or more pieces of content version metadata associated with the located (612) managed content.
- A specific process for tracking the performance of different versions of managed content is described above with respect to
FIG. 6 ; however, any number of processes can be utilized in accordance with embodiments of the invention. - Although the present invention has been described in certain specific aspects, many additional modifications and variations would be apparent to those skilled in the art.
