EXTENSIBLE MECHANISM FOR CONTEXT SELECTION IN A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DOMAIN
First Claim
1. A method for configuring the appearance and presentation of an object-oriented widget that is represented in a multi-dimensional graphical user interface, the method further comprising the steps of:
- associating a unique identifier with each of a plurality of available resource items;
determining at least one available resource item that is to be displayed within a context chooser window GUI;
organizing and displaying the available resource items within the context chooser window GUI;
selecting at least one available resource item from the context chooser interface;
displaying the at least one selected available resource item in a context selected window GUI, wherein the selected at least one available resource item is organized and formatted to be displayed within the context selected window as a listing, a table, a topological map, or a tree data-structure;
retrieving information that is associated with the at least one selected available resource item; and
displaying the information that is associated with the at least one selected available resource item, wherein the selected at least one available resource item is organized and formatted to be displayed as a listing, a table, a topological map, or a tree data-structure.
