Abstract

XooML takes a step towards addressing a basic tension in the development of supporting tools of Personal Information Management (PIM) and, more generally, in the development of computer-based tools for end users: How to innovate without forcing people to re-organize or re-locate their information? Seven considerations in the design of a XooML schema follow from experiences in the iterative evaluation and development of a Planz prototype. Considerations take aim on a vision of PIM: One integrative structure for the organization of personal information; many tools in support of this structure, its creation and its life-long elaborative use.
