ABSTRACT:
The collaborative context information management system comprises a system of networked context-aware databases that are capable of managing information in various interlinked collaborative contexts, recognizing a user's individual context, and applying this individual context across all collaborative contexts in the networked context-aware databases to provide users with exactly the information they need. The context information management system enables each information element to recognize its multiple contexts, how it is related to other contextual information, and how it inherits properties and attributes from the contexts in which it resides. The context information management system recognizes and then applies a user's present context across the networked context-aware databases to return exactly the data that is relevant to the user's information context. Finally, contextual collaboration between users is possible through the sharing and interlinking of contexts so that users discover, share, and use exactly the information they need.
