System and method for context-based traversal of document object model descriptions

A method for context-based traversal of document object model descriptions comprising the steps of:

• storing electronic document data as a document object model description;
• receiving a request for access to stored electronic document data from an associated application;
• receiving predicate data corresponding to the associated application, which predicate data includes data representative of viewing characteristics of the associated application relative to the document object model description;
• parsing stored electronic document data in accordance with received predicate data to generate a document object model node;
• and
• traversing electronic document data in accordance with a generated document object model node.
