20080288453 | Method and system for metadata-driven document management and access control - A system is provided to facilitate tag-based organization of documents. During operation, the system receives an original user query. The system extends the query to include documents with an IN-tag and exclude documents with an OUT-tag. The system then performs a search based on the extended query to indicate a collection of documents which satisfy the extended query. The system further allows a user to add a document to the collection of documents or remove a document from the collection of documents. Next, the system modifies a tagging property of the document. | 11-20-2008 |

20090234891 | System And Method For Providing A Synchronized Data Rerepresentation - A system and method for providing a synchronized data rerepresentation is provided. Data maintained by an originating application is accessed and the data is presented thorough an originating user interface. The data is marshaled into a form useable by a surrogate application with rerepresentation of the data through a surrogate user interface. Selections of the data are reflected across the originating user interface and the surrogate user interface. Actions on the data are synchronized between the originating application and the surrogate application. | 09-17-2009 |

20100332977 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING DIRECTED READING OF DOCUMENT PORTIONS BASED ON INFORMATION-SHARING RELEVANCE - One embodiment provides a system to facilitate directed reading of a selected portion of an original document by a recipient. During operation, the system creates a transfer document based at least on the original document and the selected portion. The transfer document, when viewed by the recipient, enables the following operations: opening the transfer document to the selected portion without requiring manual navigation to the selected portion, highlighting the selected portion, obscuring a context surrounding the selected portion based at least on a distance metric from the selected portion, and directly navigating from one highlighted portion to another highlighted portion in the transfer document without requiring manual navigation within obscured contexts. After the system creates the transfer document, it sends the transfer document to the recipient. | 12-30-2010 |
20110191428 | System And Method For Content Tagging And Distribution Through Email - A system and method for content tagging and distribution through email are provided. A user-to-tag record including content tags, each associated with one or more users, is maintained. An incoming email message with a tag address is received. The tag address is processed to identify a content tag, which is applied to the user-to-tag record. Users associated with the identified content tag are determined. The incoming email message is provided to the associated users. | 08-04-2011 |

20110252027 | System And Method For Recommending Interesting Content In An Information Stream - A system and method for recommending interesting content is provided. A content profile including a vector of words extracted from messages associated with a user is obtained. One or more content pointer profiles each including a vector of words associated with a content pointer located within one or more messages are obtained. The content profile is compared with each of the content pointer profiles. A relevance score is determined for that content pointer by calculating a similarity between the user words and the content pointer words. The content pointers are ranked based on the relevance score. A threshold is applied to select the content pointers and those content pointers that satisfy the threshold are selected as the content pointers most relevant to the user. | 10-13-2011 |
20130325989 | System And Method For Content-Based Message Distribution - A system and method for content-based message distribution are provided. An incoming message with a recipient address and a tag address including at least one content tag associated with one or more users is received. The content tag within the tag address and a recipient associated with the recipient address are identified. The recipient is added to the content tag as one of the users. The incoming message is displayed to at least one of the users associated with the content tag. | 12-05-2013 |
20140136508 | Computer-Implemented System And Method For Providing Website Navigation Recommendations - A system and method for providing Web site navigation recommendations is provided.
