Abstract:
1. A system for providing dynamic interaction with task-oriented items in a task management framework, comprising: a display device; at least one template specifying a task comprising a visualization interface and one or more user interactive components, each of the one or more user interactive components associated with task-specific metadata expectations; modeling logic defining data processing expectations comprised of the task, associated with the template and operating on at least one task-oriented item comprising data of explicit information extrinsic to content of, and implicit qualities of, the at least one task-oriented item related to each of planning, execution and completion of the task; a task management interface comprising: a task viewer to instantiate the at least one template as a template instance for the task; identifying an association between the at least one task-oriented item and at least one user interactive component; a data extraction module to extract the data from the at least one task-oriented item matching the task-specific metadata expectations of the at least one user interactive component upon the identified association through at least one of dynamic extraction, based on the data processing expectations of the task, and user interactive mode, by which a user selects the data extracted and to store such extracted data as metadata associated with the at least one user interactive component; a tag module to tag the at least one task-oriented item with the matching metadata; a determination module to determine at least one action required to complete the task from the metadata; a visualization module to provide a visualization of the metadata through the visualization interface and to create a To-Do list comprised of the at least one action required to complete the task, comprising: an activity generation module to generate at least one other task-oriented item comprising the at least one action required, comprising: an execution module to execute the modeling logic; and a metadata application module to apply the metadata to the specific data processing expectations; and a presentation module to populate the To-Do list with the at least one other generated task-oriented item and to display the To-Do list in the visualization interface on the display device.
