    defining context-sensitive attributes particular to a higher level user interface by the server computer through the management model;

    accessing a client side library of the client computer by the server computer through the management model, the client side library comprising data objects;

    associating the data objects with the context-sensitive attributes by the server computer through the management model;

    processing the context-sensitive attributes with the data objects by the server computer through the management model; and

    implementing the higher level user interface by the server computer through the management model with artifacts that are associated with the data objects on the client computer, with the higher level user interface being connected to the artifacts via;
