Abstract
Project-related data may be aggregated from various data sources, given context, and may be stored in a data repository or organizational knowledge base that may be available to and accessed by others. Documents, emails, contact information, calendar data, social networking data, and any other content that is related to a project may be brought together within a single user interface, irrespective of its data type. A user may organize and understand content, discover relevant information, and act on it without regard to where the information resides or how it was created.
