TECHNIQUES TO CONTROL NOTIFICATIONS FOR CONTENT ITEMS IN A COLLABORATION PLATFORM

The present invention provides techniques to control notifications for a collaboration platform. Content items being stored in the collaboration platform are shared amongst devices coupled to the collaboration platform. To determine whether to subscribe to notifications corresponding to a content item, a notification component of the collaboration platform examines the content item for characteristics of an indirect relationship between the shared content item and a user of a device of the devices. If the indirect relationship exists and warrants a subscription to the notifications, the notification component stores subscription data for the content item and in response to an occurrence of a subscribed activity, the notification component communicates a notification message to the user's device. Other embodiments are described and claimed. 用于控制协作平台通知的技术。存储在协作平台中的内容项在耦合到协作平台的设备之间共享。为了确定是否订阅对应于内容项的通知，协作平台的通知组件针对共享的内容项与设备中的设备的用户之间的间接关系的特征而检查内容项。如果存在间接关系并且保证对通知的订阅，则通知组件存储内容项的订阅数据，并且响应于订阅的活动的发生，通知组件将通知消息传送到用户的设备。描
