A system and method for automated electronic document maintenance/deletion of articles in an electronic document system. In one embodiment, the present invention determines whether the contents of an electronic copy of an article are accurately reflected in metadata corresponding to the electronic copy of the article. In the present embodiment, the electronic copy of the article is believed to be located within an electronic document system. Next, provided metadata corresponding to the electronic copy of the article does not exist, the present embodiment creates metadata corresponding to the electronic copy of the article. Provided that the electronic copy of the article can not be located within the electronic document system, the present invention deletes any metadata corresponding to the electronic copy of the article. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A computer-usable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein for causing a computer to perform the electronic article updating steps of: a) receiving an article version identifier, said article version identifier associated with one of a plurality of versions of an electronic copy of an article, said plurality of versions of said electronic copy of said article contained within the Internet or an Intranet; b) archiving electronic copies of said article which are not associated with said article version identifier, wherein said archiving of said electronic copies further comprises automatically archiving all but a most recent version of said plurality of versions of slid electronic copy of said article when said plurality of versions of said article exceeds a predetermined quantity; and c) updating metadata associated with said electronic copies of said article which are not associated with said article version identifier, said updated metadata indicating which of said plurality of said versions of said electronic copy of said article are archived, and indicating that said electronic copies of said article which are not associated with said article version identifier and which have been archived are located in an archive file.
2.
A computer-usable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein for causing a computer to perform the steps of: a) determining whether contents of an electronic copy of an article are accurately reflected in metadata corresponding to said electronic copy of said article, said electronic copy of said article believed to be located within the Internet or an Intranet, and automatically determining whether contents of said electronic copy of said article are accurately reflected in metadata corresponding to said electronic copy of said article when the quantity of articles in said Internet or Intranet exceeds a predetermined quanity; b) provided said metadata corresponding to said electronic copy of said article does not exist, creating said metadata corresponding to said electronic copy of said article; and c) provided said electronic copy of said article can not be located within said Internet or Intranet, deleting said metadata corresponding to said electronic copy of said article, wherein steps a), b), and c) are performed without requiring substantial user intervention
