Defining Content Retention Rules Using a Domain-Specific Language

摘要

A method, a system and a computer program product create a retention schedule for content within a content repository. A rule is obtained in a domain-specific language specifying content for retention, a retention time period, and a task for performance upon expiration of the retention time period, and the rule is processed to create the retention schedule. The processing of the rule includes mapping the specified content to content within the content repository, creating an action corresponding to the specified task for the content repository, and creating the retention schedule linking the mapped content and created action for the specified retention time period.
