SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COLLABORATIVE COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATON SHARING

摘要

A computer-implemented system facilitates collaborative communications and information sharing in a network defined by a model. The model of the network is accessible by a user through at least one terminal having a processor. At least a portion of the system, and the model, are stored on a storage component coupled to the terminal. The system includes a context component for capturing context information and user-defined data, the user-defined data provided during user interaction of the user in a first domain of the network, the context component dynamically storing the context information as metadata associated with the user-defined data, the user-defined data and the metadata stored on the storage component of the system, a tracking component for tracking a change of the user from the first domain to a second domain of the network and dynamically updating the stored metadata based on the change, where the user accesses the user-defined data from the second domain; and an interface to the system accessible by the user at the terminal, the interface permitting the user to create and view the user-defined data according to the model of the network.

1. A collaborator network system accessed by client devices through a plurality of workspace portals, the collaborator network system comprising:
a plurality of workspace objects, each workspace object accessed through a workspace portal; a tool set that provides a plurality of tool objects for system functionality within the collaborator network system; a role set defining a plurality of role objects, each role object being defined by a permission set, each permission set specifying a level of access to the tool set and the workspace portals within the collaborator network system, the permission set, comprising:
a first permission list selectively designating first tool objects and first role objects for a first workspace object accessible through a first workspace portal, anda second permission list selectively designating second tool objects and second role objects for a second workspace object accessible through a second workspace portal; and a system server that serves the tool objects and the role objects accessible through the first workspace portal and the second workspace portal according to the first and the second permission lists.
