Description

ABSTRACT:
The on-line content editing system of the present invention operates as an extension of a computer's operating system to provide a graphical interface which displays system operator editing menus. Using multiple node editors, the editing system allows system operators to create, modify, link, unlink and delete content nodes in the on-line network. The editing system further allows a system operator to organize services and information content independent of a specific hardware implementation. This allows, for instance, a system operator to manage subsections of the on-line network regardless of where those subsections actually reside in the on-line network hardware. Furthermore, the editing system allows service providers to create specialized node editors. These specialized node editors are then used by multiple system operators to manage their assigned subsections of the on-line network. In addition, the editing system automatically identifies and invokes the proper node editor for a selected content node.
