Abstract:

Described herein are techniques related to inferring context information for a piece of content. A client context agent infers the context information by associating the piece of content with information in the computing environment. The association may be made in response to a user interaction with the piece of content in an application, and the information in the computing environment is external to the application. For example, if a user sends an email, the client context went may use a keyword analysis to associate the email with a web page that is open concurrently, and then embed as evolving metadata the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the web page in the email. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
