A sharer can share an application object with a viewer over a communication network. An application can register information relating to the application object with a content manager. A listener can read the content manager to display the application objects that are available to be shared with the viewer. Upon selecting from the listener an application object to be shared with the viewer, the sharer can share the application object with the viewer.

Context-sensitive content level semantic information propagation system and method

Access of sources of resources within standard request-response protocols such as HTTP is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method specifies a request for application against a resource, where the resource has a source and a response. Within a TRANSLATE header within the request, there is either a FALSE flag to indicate that the source is desired, or a TRUE flag to indicate that the response is desired. In one embodiment, the TRUE flag is the default for the TRANSLATE header. The request is output according to a predetermined request protocol such as HTTP, and in one embodiment, also according to a predetermined markup language such as XML.

Accessing sources of resources within standard request-response protocols

Standard database queries within standard request-response protocols is disclosed. A database query according to a predetermined query language such as SQL is first wrapped according to a predetermined markup language such as XML. The query is then also wrapped according to a predetermined transport protocol such as HTTP. The resulting twice-wrapped database query can then be submitted from a client to a server over a TCP/IP-compliant network, such as the Internet, for example.
