Context association schema for computer system architecture
First Claim
1. In context association software in a computer readable medium for forming context associations between first and second software objects that are associated with each other based on user computer interactions, a context association schema, comprising:
- first and second object tables for the first and second objects, respectively, each object table including an object identifier field for uniquely identifying the corresponding object and a data field storing data of that object; and
an association table that includes object identifiers for the first and second objects and an associating object that references one of plural association relationships.

Abstract
An automatic context association system includes a context association schema for representing context associations between objects. The schema comprises a series of tables, including association tables with type-independent entries to support the association of objects of different types, and object tables that define the various objects. The schema supports the observation of user interaction with various system objects, including documents, photos, web pages, and interaction with other people, in order to find and utilize meaningful associations between them.

16. In context association software in a computer readable medium for forming context associations between first and second software objects that are associated with each other based on user computer interactions, a context association schema, comprising:
-
first and second object tables for the first and second objects, respectively, each object table including an object identifier field for uniquely identifying the corresponding object, a data field storing data of that object, and a type field for specifying that object as being one of plural object types;
an association table that includes object identifiers for the first and second objects and an associating object that references one of plural association relationships; and
an object type table that references event tables for one or more object types to facilitate capturing and associating events for objects of the one or more object types. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
