System and method for managing content with event driven actions to facilitate workflow and other features

摘要

A system and method for electronic file management includes an object-oriented file management database, a volume manager, and a coherency manager. The volume manager manages electronic files and metadata relating to the files of one or more volumes. Each volume may include folders, files, and/or other digital content. The file management system organizes files based on the metadata related to each file. The file management system may enable certain actions to occur automatically based on predetermined events, including changes in metadata. These actions may facilitate workflow or provide other benefits. A user interface facilitates user interaction with the file management system.
