Abstract

This invention relates to a method of establishing a staple relationship between two documents within a context of an application program. An end user indicates to the system that a staple relationship is to be established between two identified documents. The end user enters a definition of the staple relationship which includes any attributes to be associated with the identified documents within the staple relationship and the identity of at least one application within whose context the relationship is to exist. The system will create the staple relationship and file the identified documents in a library within the context of the specified application. The system then maintains the staple relationship between the identified documents within the context of the specified application.
