Re: [cam] Microsoft Office Information Bridge Framework & Context

Joseph:

This is basically an extension to the Registry functionality in Windows. 
  Since Win 95, windows has been an event based architecture that looks 
up actions in the registry for certain events.  The metadata surrounding 
the event is part of the context of "what" the user probably wants the 
O/S to do IMO.
