Abstract

We discuss design issues of iMapping, a novel approach for visually structuring information objects on the desktop. iMapping provides a user-interface layer on top of semantic desktop technologies which shall especially support personal knowledge management and personal information organization. iMapping allows for user-friendly articulation, semantic annotation and interlinking of personal knowledge, as well as its gradual semantic enrichment. In this paper, we elaborate on main GUI principles of the iMapping knowledge mapping and interaction design.
