  • Systems, methods, and software for implementing a notes service
    Patent number: 10846345
    Abstract: A notes service receives note items produced by various software applications. Each of the note items may comprise metadata, context data, and content representative of a note. The notes service, for each of the note items, stores a given note item in a note repository and updates a graph based at least on the metadata, the context data, and the content for the given note. As the notes service receives queries from the various software applications obtain relevant ones of the note items from the note repository, the service searches the graph for one or more note items relevant to a given query. The one or more notes are retrieved from the repository and provided in reply to the requesting application.
