Managing a Contextual Workspace

An apparatus comprising instructions embodied on a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media, the instructions operable when executed to cause a computing system to perform operations comprising:

• generating a virtual workspace viewable by a user on a graphical user interface, the virtual workspace comprising a plurality of workspace modules comprising data contained in one or more data objects;
• identifying an interaction by the user with at least some of the data contained in the one or more data objects;
• and
• based on the identified interaction, identifying additional data contained in the one or more data objects that is semantically related to the data interacted with by the user.

A computing system, comprising

• one or more memory modules;
• one or more processors;
• a graphical user interface;
• and
• a contextual services module stored on one or more of the memory modules, the contextual services module operable when executed with the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• generating a virtual workspace viewable by a user on the graphical user interface, the virtual workspace comprising a plurality of workspace modules comprising data contained in one or more data objects;
• identifying an interaction by the user with at least some of the data contained in the one or more data objects;
• and
• based on the identified interaction, identifying additional data contained in the one or more data objects that is semantically related to the data interacted with by the user.
