Design and implement a tool for navigation, organisation and orientation in the personal information space of a user. Different visualisation methods can be used to view the personal information space. With easy and understandable communication primitives, the space shall be shaped and changed. The platform to be created will further allow for collaboration of teams and support the exchange of information across the borders of the personal information space. Users may export parts of their own information space and may integrate and take over parts of foreign information spaces. This idea thus allows for asynchronous, multi-lateral communication with any desired number of people.
