  • Publication number: 20140359488
    Abstract: An operating system of a computer provides an interface, such as an application programming interface, through which applications on that computer can store link data in a consistent format across applications and resources. Thus, when an application stores link data, it sends a command to the operating system providing the link data, invoking a command to store the link data. When an application retrieves link data, it sends a command to the operating system to retrieve link data. Thus, an application can store link data for a history of resources accessed, favorite resources accessed, and other types of resources to be accessed. As a result, the operating system provides a single mechanism for a heterogeneous set of applications and a heterogeneous set of resources to store link data in a single repository.
