STREAM-BASED ENTERPRISE AND DESKTOP INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

摘要

A stream based system of organizing, storing, retrieving, and displaying information, using top-down or bottom-up topologies. The system automatically creates standard document object models (SDOs) (305) of heterogeneous documents originating from different applications and sources, and efficiently uses the SDOs to arrange, search, and display representations of the original documents in a way that is particularly effective and consistent with the way people think and look for information.
