An information organiser comprises processes and data storage which can be accessed by users over a network, for example the Internet. A user can trigger transmission of information items from a variety of different sources to the organiser and use processes of the organiser to collate them into a project in progress. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful where the information items comprise images. Lightbox style presentations of selections of images can be made and shared over the network for collaborative purposes. The organiser also assembles item records for received items, from metadata received with the item. This is done by mapping where standardised metadata formats are used, and by creation of templates for subsequent mapping where the use of metadata is non-standard.
