The Versit PDI specification defines a set of universal "containers" called Bentograms, based on Bento, an object-oriented technology which is the OpenDoc standard interchange format for storage and exchange of data. The first reference implementation of Bentogram is Versitcard(tm), Versit's electronic business card. Using products that incorporate this specification, a user could, for example, exchange electronic business cards at a meeting, and the recipient could then dial that person by simply tapping on their phone number in their computer or PDA. In an integrated computer-telephony environment, users might similarly place their Versitcards "on the table" at the start of a desktop video and data conference.
