Database Field Extraction for Contextual Collaboration

A computer program product for automated hyperlinking, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, to receive user input specifying a set of character sequence columns in a table to use for character sequence comparison;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, to detect whether a character sequence entered into an electronic communication in a user interface on a display matches one or more character sequences in fields of the set of character sequence columns;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, to, responsive to the character sequence matching a single character sequence of the one or more character sequences in the fields of the set of character sequence columns, retrieve, from an associated link field in the table, a hyperlink associated with the single character sequence;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-re able tangible storage devices, to insert the hyperlink into the electronic communication.

A computer system for automated hype inking, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to receive user input specifying a set of character sequence columns in a table to use for character sequence comparison;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to detect whether a character sequence entered into an electronic communication in a user interface on a display matches one or more character sequences in fields of the set of character sequence columns;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to, responsive to the character sequence matching a single character sequence of the one or more character sequences in the fields of the set of character sequence columns, retrieve, from an associated link filed in the table, a hyperlink associated with the single character sequence;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to insert the hyperlink into the electronic communication.
