Method, a server, a system and a computer program product for copying data from a source server to a target server

摘要

The invention relates to a method for copying data from a source server to a target server, wherein the data is associated with a metadata. The method comprises mapping the metadata of the data to the metadata structure of the target server, where the mapping comprises determining common names for properties being comprised in the metadata; determining if the determined common names exist in the metadata structure of the target server; and if so, copying—together with the data—such properties of the metadata that have matching common names in the metadata structure of the target server. The invention also relates to a hybrid content management system.

1. A method for synchronizing metadata between servers when metadata structure of these servers deviate, wherein synchronizing comprises copying data from a source server to a target server, wherein said data is associated with a metadata having a set of properties, a property comprising a property name and a property value, the method comprising:
mapping the metadata from the source server to a metadata structure of the target server, where the mapping comprises determining aliases for property names being comprised in the metadata, wherein an alias defines a general concept for a property in question; determining if the metadata structure of the target server comprises property names having the same aliases; and if so, copying data with such properties of the associated metadata from the source server that have matching aliases in the metadata structure of the target server.
