Abstract
A web content management server allows for the automatic creation, management and publication of variant objects from a parent object. The variant object is created as a copy of the corresponding parent object and may then be modified. Each object includes a pages list that identifies all associated objects and the content type of each object listed in the pages list. The relationship between parent and variant objects is maintained regardless of the location where the objects are stored. When changes are made to the parent page, the changes are also implemented in any corresponding variant pages. The parent object tracks any corresponding variant objects with an identifier stored in the pages list. When the parent page is modified, a workflow is triggered to modify the corresponding variant pages identified by the identifier and the content type in the pages list.
