Activity contextualization

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a processing device to perform a method comprising:

• transmitting a request to a network service for activity data for a user, the activity data including a subject of user activity within the network service;
• receiving, from the network service in response to the request, the activity data for the user;
• parsing the received activity data to identify the subject of the user activity;
• searching a plurality of cells for a cell about the identified subject, wherein each of the plurality of cells includes displayable data about a subject and each of the plurality of cells includes a first link assigned a causal context relationship and providing a navigation link from the cell to a causal context cell corresponding to the cell, a second link assigned an inclusion contextual relationship and providing a navigation link from the cell to an inclusion context cell corresponding to the cell, a third link assigned a temporal contextual relationship and providing a navigation link from the cell to a temporal context cell corresponding to the cell, and fourth link assigned a spatial contextual relationship and providing a navigation link from the cell to a spatial context cell corresponding to the cell;
• determining, in response to the search, that a first cell within the plurality of cells includes displayable data about the identified subject;
• identifying, further in response to the search, that one of the first, second, third, and fourth links is defined as a highlighted contextual relationship to be displayed in response to user activity within the network service;
• and
• transmitting, to a device associated with the user for display, a representation of the identified subject and the link defined as a highlighted contextual relationship.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processing device, wherein the processing device executes instructions that cause the apparatus to:
• transmit a request to a network service for activity data for a user, the activity data including a subject of user activity within the network service;
• receive, from the network service in response to the request, the activity data for the user;
• parse the received activity data to identify the subject of the user activity;
• search a plurality of cells for a cell about the identified subject, wherein each of the plurality of cells includes displayable data about a subject and each of the plurality of cells includes a first link assigned a causal context relationship and providing a navigation link from the cell to a causal context cell corresponding to the cell, a second link assigned an inclusion contextual relationship and providing a navigation link from the cell to an inclusion context cell corresponding to the cell, a third link assigned a temporal contextual relationship and providing a navigation link from the cell to a temporal context cell corresponding to the cell, and fourth link assigned a spatial contextual relationship and providing a navigation link from the cell to a spatial context cell corresponding to the cell;
• determine, in response to the search, that a first cell within the plurality of cells includes displayable data about the identified subject;
• identify, further in response to the search, that one of the first, second, third, and fourth links is defined as a highlighted contextual relationship to be displayed in response to user activity within the network service;
• and
• transmit, to a device associated with the user for display, a representation of the identified subject and the link defined as a highlighted contextual relationship.
