Projects tagged ‘hierarchy’ and ‘informationmanagement’

TheKBase is a multiple-hierarchical information manager, or a "hierarchical notepad on steroids." It lets you organize information via a simple Windows Explorer-type interface with a text editor (tree ... [More] on the left side, text on the right). Kbases consist of bits of information or "snippets." Each snippet has a title, text, icon, etc. Each snippet may contain one or more snippets, much like folders in a file system. The "twist" is that snippets may also be contained by more than one snippet. It's a simple concept but its applications -- academic, business, personal, social -- are limitless. [Less]

LinkLens is a new approach to information management that provides an intuitive mix of tagging and folder hierarchies. LinkLens is built in ruby on rails. LinkLens allows a user to search the sets of ... [More] associations between different artifacts such as users, resources, files, discussions and so on. In the web interface all artifacts can be dragged and dropped into a context box and the set of artifacts associated with the those in the context box are then displayed. The contents of the context box form a location, so other artifacts can then be dragged and dropped into the results pane which causes them to acquire associations with the current context artifacts. New artifacts created will be placed in this location, since they will automatically acquire associations with everything in the context. This creates a sense of location associated with a set of artifacts and this serves as an alternative to locations defined by structured hierachies. The LinkLens system has been fast prototyped in Ruby on Rails and makes extensive use of Ruby on Rails AJAX support. [Less]
