Abstract
Techniques for sharing information in a wide variety of contexts allows both an explicit capture process and an implicit capture process to add information items to a staging area. An information sharing system supports both implicit and explicit consumption of information items that are stored in the staging area. A rules engine allows users to create and register rules that customize the behavior of the capture processes, the consuming processes, and propagation processes that propagate information from the staging areas to designated destinations. Exactly-once handling of sequence of items is achieved for items maintained in volatile memory. DDL operations are recorded, and operations are asynchronously performed based on the previously-performed DDL operations.
