Abstract

A method and system for providing business context corresponding to unstructured documents is provided. A business context correlation system analyzes the contents of a user's unstructured document, identifies the business context of the unstructured document from the analyzed contents, and presents the business context along with the unstructured document to the user. The business context includes the relevant contextual objects and documents associated with one or more business applications. Providing a view of the business context along with the unstructured document allows the user more fully understand and act on the displayed document.
