Editing WinFS (section)

===Information Agent===
WinFS includes an Information Agent feature for the management, retrieval, and storage of end-user notification rules and preferences for changes to items in the data store. Using Information Agent, it is possible to automatically define relations to new items based on events such as appointments, with an example being that appointments can be related to photos based on the dates the photos were taken, enabling queries for birthdays or holidays without needing to know the actual dates of such events ("''find all photos taken on this birthday''"). Other examples include automatically moving new items to specific folders based on a rule as determined by appointment times and dates the photos were taken ("''when I import a photo taken during a business event, move it to the Business Events folder''") or more complex possibilities. Information Agent can also forward notifications to other devices ("''if I receive a high priority email from my boss, send a notification to my phone''") and is similar to Rules and Alerts functionality of Microsoft Outlook.
