Method and system for managing multi-user user-selectable elements

摘要

A method for associating a characterization attribute with a document in a computerized system is disclosed, the method comprising providing a primary insertion of a document associating at least one intrinsic characterization attribute with the document, and providing a secondary insertion of the document associating at least one extrinsic characterization attribute with the document. A method for changing the level of details of a document representation in accordance with a magnification of the document representation is also disclosed. A machine readable medium containing machine executable instructions providing a method for building a multi-user document vector is also disclosed, the method comprising a first plurality of documents associated with a first user, a second plurality of documents associated with a second user and a multi-user document vector comprising the first plurality of documents and the second plurality of documents.

1. A method of providing a multi-dimensional multi-user element vector interface on a display, the method comprising:
generating, with a processor, a first element vector including a first group of elements, the first element vector corresponding to a first user, elements having at least one attribute from a set of characterization attributes; generating, with the processor, a second element vector including a second group of elements, the second element vector corresponding to a second user, elements having at least one attribute from the set of characterization attributes; displaying, on the display, the first element vector and the second element vector in the multi-user element interface such that the second element vector is substantially parallel to the first element vector; receiving an input including a selected attribute from the set of characterization attributes; generating, in response to the input, a third group of elements having the selected attribute from the first element vector and the second element vector; and displaying the third group of elements as an axis of elements, the axis of elements being at a non-zero angle to the first element vector and the second element vector.
