Data management systems, interactions, interfaces, and methods are disclosed for utilizing metadata in the storage, management, organization, and retrieval of items through a visual interface. An associative interface component corresponds to an associative element of metadata including an associative category and one or more elements of associative data corresponding to the associative category. A user may interact with a data management system interface to associate a piece of selected data with a metadata element by dragging and dropping or otherwise adding a corresponding associative interface component to an interface panel associated with the piece of selected data. The user may access the piece of data by causing a search for data elements responsive to dragging and dropping or otherwise adding an associative interface component to a search interface panel. |

1. A system for managing data associated with a selected item comprising:
a first memory component for storing item data associated with the selected item; a second memory component for storing tags associated with the selected item; a computer implemented item management storage component operable to:
display indicia corresponding to one or more attributes of the selected item;display a first plurality of encapsulated UI elements in a first library interface location, wherein each encapsulated UI element represents a tag comprising a tag category and a selected tag value, each encapsulated UI element comprising:
a tag category name UI label displaying the tag category of the represented tag; anda selectable tag value UI field displaying the selected tag value of the represented tag, wherein the selected tag value is a first tag value of a plurality of tag values corresponding to the tag category of the represented tag, wherein user selection of the selectable tag value UI field causes the display of a dropdown UI displaying two or more of the plurality of tag values, and wherein user selection of a second tag value from the dropdown UI causes the second tag value to become the selected tag value of the represented tag in place of the first tag value, including displaying the second tag value in the selectable tag value UI field;responsive to a first drag and drop operation by a user, add a first encapsulated UI element of the first plurality of encapsulated UI elements to a selected item interface location associated with the selected item;responsive to a second drag and drop operation by a user, add a second encapsulated UI element of the first plurality of encapsulated UI elements to the selected item interface location associated with the selected itemstore the item data to the first memory component; andstore tags associated with the item data to the second memory component, wherein the tags comprise tags represented by two or more encapsulated UI elements in the selected item interface location, including at least the first and second encapsulated UI elements; and an item management search component operable to:
display a second plurality of encapsulated UI elements in a second library interface location, the second plurality of encapsulated UI elements including at least the first encapsulated UI element;responsive to a third drag and drop operation by a user, add the first encapsulated UI element to a search interface location;identify the item data stored in the first memory component based at least on a comparison between the stored tags associated with the item data and tags represented by one or more encapsulated UI elements in the search interface location, including at least the first encapsulated UI element; andaccess at least a part of the item data stored in the first memory component. |
