7. A data processing system comprising:
-
a digital data search engine to perform a context-sensitive search of searchable digital data received from a first computer, arranged to identify other digital data having a substantially similar context to that of the received searchable digital data that conveys context of the received searchable digital data; and
a communication mechanism to output data associated with the identified other digital data to the first computer. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of sharing digital data between a first computer system and a second computer system comprising:
-
rendering digital data at the first computer system;
transmitting data associated with the digital data rendered at the first computer system to the second computer system;
receiving the transmitted data at the second computer system;
searching, at the second computer system, using the received data, to identify other digital data having a context associated with the digital data rendered at the first computer system;
rendering at least one of the other digital data on the second computer system;
enabling user selection, at the second computer system, of at least one of the other rendered digital data; and
transmitting the selected other digital data associated to the first computer system. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
