20110113319 | INTRODUCING A FORM INSTANCE INTO AN INFORMATION CONTAINER - Some embodiments of the invention relate to a system and a method of enabling introduction of a form instance into an information container. According to some embodiments of the invention, a system for enabling introduction of a form instance into an information container may include a form provisioning module and a host application interaction module. The form provisioning module may be configured for providing a form template from amongst a plurality of form templates, each one of the form templates may include one or more data fields and at least one of the data fields may include metadata and an editable value. The host application interaction module may be configured to interact with an information manipulation environment that is associated with the information container, to thereby invoke within the information container a form instance that is based upon one of the plurality of form templates, and to thereby enable editing of at least one value of one field of the form instance. The host application interaction module may be further adapted to store within an embedded storage layer of the information container data corresponding to one or more fields of the form instance, in a manner to enable access to the fields autonomously through the information container. According to some embodiments of the invention, the system may include a form data publisher. The form data publisher may be adapted to publish data corresponding to one or more fields of the form instance for provisioning storage thereof on a remote storage component. According to further embodiments of the invention, the data associated with the form instance within each of the embedded storage areas and the remote storage components may exist autonomously of one another. | 05-12-2011 |
