XRX and Context Delivery Architecture

Dan McCreary – XRX and Context Delivery Architecture:

"When we create a form dynamically through auto-generation we usually know the id of person who is filling out the form and we can use an XQuery look-up service to see what roles that person has, and what departments, projects and groups they are in. We can also use context such a what day of the week is, what prior actions of the users have taken, what their preferences are, or their purchase history to determine the behavior of the form. These factors generate what is called the "Context" of the interaction and in the past it was one form for all contexts. With XRX you have a lot more control about using context to customized the form."
