System and method for adding context to the creation and revision of artifacts
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an application component, implemented by at least one processing device, operative to revise content of an electronic document, the content including at least one subcomponent;
a process-related-data handling component, implemented by at the least one processing device, operatively coupled to the application component and operative to capture user-input process-related data corresponding to a revision to the at least one subcomponent of the content of the electronic document via a process-related data management tool, wherein the process-related data including reasoning for the revision to the electronic document and wherein the process-related data management tool is a calendar interface comprising a plurality of date indicators including a highlighted date indicator of the plurality of date indicators based on a portion of process-related data;
a storage element operatively coupled to the process-related-data handling component and operative to store the process-related data; and
a management component, implemented by the at least one processing device, operatively coupled to the process-related data handling component, the application component, and the storage element, and operative to concurrently show, on a display, the electronic document and the process related data management tool.

Abstract
A system includes a process-related-data handling component operative to handle process-related data corresponding to an operation associated with an artifact, such as the creation or revision of the artifact. An application component is operatively coupled to the process-related-data handling module and is operative to interact with the artifact. A storage element is also operatively coupled to the process-related-data handling module and is operative to store the process-related data. The process-related data may be displayed, created, or otherwise manipulated through a data management tool, which may include, a calendar interface, a task interface, and/or a media capture module. A method is also directed towards establishing process-related context concerning at least one artifact.

11. In a processing device implementing one or more electronic document processing applications and having a graphical user interface including a display and at least one user input device, a method for establishing process-related context concerning at least one electronic document, the method comprising:
-
displaying, on the display, an electronic document via the one or more electronic document processing applications, wherein the one or more electronic document processing applications are operative to revise content of an electronic document, the content including at least one subcomponent; displaying, on the display concurrently with the electronic document, a calendar interface comprising a plurality of date indicators including a highlighted date indicator of the plurality of date indicators based on existence of user-input process-related data associated with a revision to the at least one subcomponent of the content of the electronic document and a date corresponding to the highlighted date indicator; receiving, via the at least one user input device, a selection input corresponding to the highlighted date indicator; and displaying, on the display and in response to the selection input, data corresponding to at least some of the process-related data and the date corresponding to the highlighted date indicator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
