ABSTRACT:
A method of automatically creating an electronic document definition can include querying an application using a meta data interface of the application to retrieve meta data describing at least one application specific object for interacting with the application. The meta data can be received responsive to the querying step. The meta data can be processed to determine an electronic document definition describing the at least one application specific object in accordance with the received meta data.
