US Patent 7136178 System and related methods for dynamically compiling a publication

A system (10) for dynamically compiling a publication (6001) is presented including one or more publication agents (500) coupled to a plurality of content providers (50, 80) through a network. The publication agent(s) (500), responsive to receipt of a publication profile (641), selectively issue one or more requests for content from select content providers (50, 80) at a time(s) appropriate to the requested content. In this regard, the publication agents (500) function to improve the accuracy, timeliness and relevancy of the content comprising the generated publication (6001).
