Abstract
Technology for interoperability is disclosed by enabling the sharing of user context or preferences for a computing experience across computing devices, operating systems, applications, or locations. A platform and application programming interface (API) are provided for computer applications and services to store and retrieve context data associated with a computing experience. Access to the context data for sharing may be managed by an access controller, which enables a user to manage access permissions for the sharing of the context data. The context data may be defined according to a common schema, which specifies the information for sharing and may be communicated using common communication channels or protocols. Thus context data may be shared across nearly any application or service including those developed in different computer programming languages or operating on different types of computing devices or devices running different operating systems or by different software developers.
