Claim:
A method for managing content information, comprising: acquiring user profile information using a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays selectable categories to a user; defining one or more user profile vectors (UPVs) based on the user profile information defined by selected ones of the categories; acquiring content categorization information using a content publishing form that displays selectable content category prompts to a provider of content objects; defining one or more content tagging vectors (CTVs) based upon the content categorization information; generating a list of matching content identifiers (MCIs) that is associated with relevant content information by comparing the one or more UPVs and the one or more CTVs; determining whether the relevant content information is already present on a user workstation by comparing the list of MCIs with stored content identifiers (SCIs) that reflect content that is on the user workstation; retrieving the relevant content information based on the comparison of the list of MCIs with the SCIs; and updating the user workstation with the retrieved relevant content information upon a triggering event.
