Management of the increasingly large collections of files and other electronic artifacts held on desktop as well as enterprise systems is becoming more difficult. Organisation and searching using extensive metadata is an emerging solution, but is predicated upon the development of appropriate interfaces for metadata management. In this paper we seek to advance the state of the art by proposing a set of design principles for metadata interfaces. We do this by first defining the abstract operations required, then reviewing the functionality and interfaces of current applications with respect to these operations, before extending the observed best practice to create a generic set of guidelines. We also present a novel direct manipulation interface for higher level metadata manipulation that addresses shortcomings observed in the sampled software.
