1. A method comprising:
- generating a user profile corresponding to a user;
identifying one or more entities related to the user, said one or more entities having corresponding entity profiles including context information;
associating at least a portion of the context information from the one or more entity profiles to the user profile; and
personalizing a work environment associated with user based on the context information associated with the user profile.

14. A method comprising:
-
generating a child entity profile corresponding to a child entity;
identifying a parent entity profile from which the child entity profile depends, the parent entity profile including context information;
importing at least a portion of the context information from the parent entity profile into the child entity profile, said imported context information comprising inherited context information; and
updating the inherited context information in the child entity profile in response to a change in the corresponding at least a portion of the context information in the parent entity profile. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
