Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for enhancing applications, such as enterprise applications, to include contextual collaboration functionality by providing a collaboration space which can be embedded or otherwise made visibly available from within the application's user interface. The collaboration space allows collaboration content from collaboration activities that are outside the application to be contextually viewed seamlessly within the application. For example, a user of an enterprise application accessing an account, an opportunity or other object of an enterprise system, can view the collaboration space associated with the accessed object through the enterprise application itself.
