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

[<chris.hipson@bt.com>]

Hi Folks

The examples MS have given seem to tie this into Smart Tags [not
something I've really looked at in any detail].

So I get an e-mail saying contact David Webber of drrw re .....

SmartTags [somehow] recognises drrw for me, I can then right click on
the drrw tag and be offered a menu of options. These menus tie through
an IBF server to fire web services. As I read it the IBF server 'engine'
holds meta data to tie the smart tags to web services, I'd guess this is
also where security would be applied.

So I think the context in IBF would be I'd get a menu on say faults
raised by drrw, spend with drrw etc.

So I don't see any relationship with CAM.

Duane,

Ah!  Right now there's only limited ways to associate processes
and actions with filetypes.  If they've opened up that part of the
desktop to XML scripting - definately interesting.

One immediate gotcha though is security.  A rogue process
could modify this and then cause a hidden action to occur.
