Content review with proxy comment management

摘要

Techniques for content review with proxy comment management are presented. Comments associated with content review are managed separately from the content itself. Some comments are associated with participants internal to a secure network where the comments are managed while other comments are originally received from external participants located outside the secure network. The external comments are adopted by one or more of the internal participants that act as proxies for the external participants and their supplied comments. The proxy relationship permits the external comments to be added to the comments for the content review within the secure network.
