Abstract: A task library comprising task data for a plurality of components installed on a computer system is provided. The task library includes task data for a plurality of components installed on a computer system. The task links, that reference task data elements, are generated and stored with the task library. The task links are generated according to predetermined schemas associated with the task library. Task data elements may be configured such that the installed component corresponding to the task data may be manipulated/configured from within the context of the task library. The components installed on the computer may be hardware or software components. Installed components may include modules that are “installed” on the computer though they are located remote to the computer.
