Applications

New Features

Information Triage

Project Management

Conference Planning

Drag-and-drop Folders & Metadata PeelingThe file hierarchy expands into collections and file attributes are attached as metadata

MP3 BrowsingHear the music when the mousehovers over a MP3 file object

Attribute ApplicatorsAllows the rapid addition of metadata to documents and aids the user in the extraction of existing metadata

Web & DL SearchOn Google and on NSDL

Personal Interpretation

Visual cues for symbols and collections: background color, border color, border width, font, font size, font style, font color, symbol height, and symbol width.

Spatial cues: proximity and groupings such as lists and stacks.

Tool Bar: for creating objects and collections, creating links, changing visual characteristics, searching the web, and navigating history.
