DYNAMIC WHITEBOARD REGIONS

Dynamic templates include regions that provide behavior based upon a purpose or desired outcome. Templates and regions can modify the logical representations associated with objects to create semantic context for the objects. Templates and regions can also generate visual representations of objects based upon their logical representations. The visual representation utilized by a template or region can be selected manually or based upon the capabilities of a computing device. Objects contained within regions can be sorted, filtered, arranged, and projected based on their associated logical representations. Templates and regions can modify their size based upon the objects contained therein, can receive logical representations of objects from data sources and update the data sources to reflect modification of the logical representations, can initiate actions based on changes to the logical representations associated with objects, and generate structured summaries or other types of content based upon the logical representations.
