Information architecture for the interactive environment

Abstract

A system and method for providing management such as creation, manipulation, storage, control, and retrieval of digital content for a company on a global basis. Digital content is created and stored in, for example, the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format using the relationship between component mapping information and content information comprising webpage components. The XML data is developed by defining page components, mapping the components on a page and indexing the page for future retrieval of the page. The data is then stored in a single database, as segments related to the page, for call-up by a user.

         21 . A computer-implemented method for managing web content, comprising:
 receiving, by a computer-based system, a request by a user to view a web page;   retrieving, by the computer-based system, a category tag click count for a web page component, wherein the category tag click count corresponds to the user;   analyzing, by the computer-based system, the category tag click count to determine one or more user preferences;   retrieving, by the computer-based system, the web page component according to the one or more user preferences, wherein the web page component includes a category tag corresponding to the one or more user preferences; and,   causing the web page to be displayed to the user in a manner that positions the web page component on the web page according to content mapping data, wherein the content mapping data includes instructions for mapping the web page component to the web page.   
     
     
         22 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 creating, via a computer-implemented application, the web page component, and   storing the web page component in a globally accessible database for review by a reviewer, wherein the web page component is reviewable separately from the web page in which the web page component is included.   
     
     
         23 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 22 , wherein retrieving the web page component is performed based on the web page component being designated as approved by the reviewer. 
     
     
         24 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 21 , wherein the content mapping data further includes one or more of: information relating to navigation components, information relating to page key word relationships, component type information, or information used in generating items on a page. 
     
     
         25 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 21 , wherein the web page component is stored in at least one of: an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format or a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format. 
     
     
         26 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 21 , wherein the category tag includes a category-keyword pair. 
     
     
         27 . An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:
 receiving a request by a user to view a web page;   retrieving a category tag click count for a web page component, wherein the category tag click count corresponds to the user;   analyzing the category tag click count to determine one or more user preferences;   retrieving the web page component according to the one or more user preferences, wherein the web page component is indicated as having been approved by a reviewer; and,   causing the web page to be displayed to the user in a manner that positions the web page component on the web page according to content mapping data, wherein the content mapping data includes instructions for mapping the web page component to the web page.   
     
     
         28 . The article of manufacture of  claim 27 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 detecting user navigation with respect to the web page component; and   updating the category tag click count based on the detecting.   
     
     
         29 . The article of manufacture of  claim 28 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving a different request by the user to view the web page;   analyzing the updated category tag click count to determine updated user preferences;   based on the updated user preferences, retrieving a different web page component; and   causing the web page to be displayed to the user with the different web page component.   
     
     
         30 . The article of manufacture of  claim 27 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 detecting user navigation with respect to a different web page component;   registering a category tag with respect to the different web page component; and   updating a respective category tag click count associated with the different web page component.   
     
     
         31 . The article of manufacture of  claim 30 , wherein the category tag includes a category-keyword pair. 
     
     
         32 . The article of manufacture of  claim 27 , wherein the content mapping data further includes one or more of: information relating to navigation components, information relating to page key word relationships, component type information, or information used in generating items on a page. 
     
     
         33 . The article of manufacture of  claim 27 , wherein the web page component is stored in at least one of: an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format or a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format. 
     
     
         34 . A system comprising:
 a processor; and   a non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,   the non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:   analyzing a category tag click count for a web page component to determine one or more user preferences, wherein the category tag click count corresponds to a user;   retrieving a web page component according to the one or more user preferences, wherein the web page component is indicated as having been approved by a reviewer; and,   causing a web page to be displayed to the user in a manner that positions the web page component on the web page according to content mapping data, wherein the content mapping data includes instructions for mapping the web page component to the web page.   
     
     
         35 . The system of  claim 34 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 detecting user navigation with respect to the web page component; and   updating the category tag click count based on the detecting.   
     
     
         36 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving a different request by the user to view the web page;   analyzing the updated category tag click count to determine updated user preferences;   based on the updated user preferences, retrieving a different web page component; and   causing the web page to be displayed to the user with the different web page component.   
     
     
         37 . The system of  claim 34 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 detecting user navigation with respect to a different web page component;   registering a category tag with respect to the different web page component; and   updating a respective category tag click count associated with the different web page component.   
     
     
         38 . The system of  claim 37 , wherein the category tag includes a category-keyword pair. 
     
     
         39 . The system of  claim 34 , wherein the content mapping data further includes one or more of: information relating to navigation components, information relating to page key word relationships, component type information, or information used in generating items on a page.
