1. A method for providing context sensitive information comprising:
- identifying a user associated with a business operation;
defining a query related to the business operation;
defining an alarm criteria for the query information;
periodically querying at least one database;
retrieving query information from the at least one database;
comparing the query information to the alarm criteria;
retrieving user information from the at least one database in response to the querying;
obtaining a location of the user within a facility, the location of the user related to the user'"'"'s duties within the business operation;
creating a context sensitive subset of the query information based on the user information and the location of the user within the facility, the query information related to the user'"'"'s duties within the business operation;
transmitting at least one of the context sensitive subset query information to the user; and
notifying the user if the alarm criteria is met.

6. A system for providing context sensitive information to a user, said system comprising:
-
a server; at least one database connected to said server; a query means for executing a predefined query on said at least one database, said query means creating a set of data that is related to a business operation, said query means configured to periodically query said at least one database; a means for a user to request said set of data from said server, the user associated with the business operation; an application program on said server, said application program determining the identity of the user, obtaining a location of the user within a facility, and creating a context sensitive subset of said set of data based on the users identity and the location of the user within the facility, the location of the user and said context sensitive subset of said set of data related to the user'"'"'s duties within the business operation, said application program configured to retrieve query information from said at least one database; and a means for transmitting one or more of said context sensitive subset of said set of data and a notification if predetermined alarm criteria is met to the user. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A storage medium encoded with machine readable program code for providing context sensitive information to a user, said program code including instructions for causing a computer to implement a method comprising:
-
identifying a user associated with a business operation; defining a query related to the business operation; defining an alarm criteria for the query; transmitting said query and said user identity to a server; periodically querying at least one database; retrieving query information from said at least one database; retrieving user information from said at least one database; obtaining a location of the user within a facility, the location of the user related to the user'"'"'s duties within the business operation; creating a subset of said query information based on said user information and the location of the user within the facility, said query information related to the user'"'"'s duties within the business operation; formatting said subset query information; and
,transmitting one or more of said formatted subset query information and a notification that an alarm criteria is met to the user. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method of encoding a data signal that is propagated over a propagation medium, the data signal being context sensitive to a particular user, said method comprising:
-
identifying a user associated with a business operation; defining a query related to the business operation; defining an alarm criteria for said query; transmitting said query and said user identity to a server; periodically querying at least one database; retrieving, at least periodically, query information from said at least one database; retrieving user information from said at least one database; obtaining a location of the user within a facility, the location of the user related to the user'"'"'s duties within the business operation; encoding the data signal with a context sensitive subset of said query information that is based on said user information and the location of the user within the facility, the query information related to the user'"'"'s duties within the business operation; and determining if an alarm criteria is met.
