Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatically establishing the relationship between the semantic data of an information source with running widgets using said data as input parameters. On one hand, the method comprises establishing the configuration by means of selecting the parts of the information source which will be used as input parameters of the widgets, identifying which widgets will be initialised with said parameters, choosing the mode of sharing that information; and on the other hand, using the configuration information for running the widget with the aforementioned parameters. Various applications are therefore integrated automatically, widgets being run based on the web page content and without user intervention, which allows integrating applications at runtime.
