  • Patent number: 9122496
    Abstract: An approach is provided for providing cross product contextual help consolidating cross product contextual help. The approach is responsive to receiving a help request. The help request pertains to a first software product installed on the information handling system. The first software product interacts with a second software product that is also installed on the information handling system. The approach retrieves a first help contents from the first software product and a value from the second software product. The value is retrieved from the second software product using interfaces that were registered in a registry and uses linked data. Help information is presented to a user with the help information pertaining to the first application and including the first help contents retrieved from the first application and the value retrieved from the second application.
