The Graph API and Project Rome
Since we're discussing cross-platform engagement, this is a great time to talk about the Graph API and Project Rome. These interwoven infrastructure services that are available in the Microsoft Cloud infrastructure allow developers to create application experiences that span across platform and device boundaries.
The Graph API
The Graph API is a collection of Microsoft cloud services that are used to interact with the data that is collected through various platforms, including Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Live. The data elements in this web of data are structured around the currently signed-in user. Interactions with certain applications (for example, a meeting that's been created, an email that's been sent, or a new contact being added to the company director) or devices (for example, a sign-in on a new device) are created as new nodes in the relationship graph.
These nodes can then be used to create a more immersive experience...
