Abstract: A method of sharing computer objects between computer spaces is provided. The method includes storing association information relating to associations between a selected object in a first computer space and other objects in the first computer space. The selected object is shared from the first computer space to or with a second computer space. For example, a user copies the selected object from one computer to another. As is common, the second computer space also includes objects that are common to objects in the first computer space. The method automatically shares from the first computer space to the second computer space associations between the shared (e.g., copied) object and the other objects that are common to the first and second computer spaces. The automatic sharing of associations when an object is shared allows the associations to be used in the new computer space to determine relationships and access to the shared object.
