Abstract

An interface system is disclosed, the interface system comprising a global interface for enabling navigation through a plurality of documents and a plurality of specific interfaces, at least some documents from the plurality of documents having a specific interface associated therewith.

Claims (20)

1 . An interface system comprising:

a global interface for enabling navigation through a plurality of documents; and

a plurality of specific interfaces, at least some documents from the plurality of documents having a specific interface associated therewith.

2 . The interface system of claim 1 , wherein each specific interface is graphically associated with its related document.

3 . The interface system of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the documents are disposed on a document vector.

4 . The interface system of claim 3 , wherein the documents are disposed along a timeline on the document vector.

5 . The interface system of claim 1 , wherein the specific interfaces are adapted to display a plurality of characterization attributes.

6 . The interface system of claim 5 , wherein, when the specific interfaces are displaying the plurality of characterization attributes, at least one characterization attribute from the plurality of characterization attributes is graphically selectable.

7 . The interface system of claim 1 , wherein the specific interfaces enable a text-receiving portion adapted to receive a note.

8 . The interface system of claim 7 , wherein the text-receiving portion is adapted to receive a plurality of notes, the text-receiving portion being adapted to chronologically order the plurality of notes.

9 . The interface system of claim 1 , wherein the specific interfaces are adapted to be colored.

10 . The interface system of claim 1 , wherein the specific interfaces have a size threshold, the specific interfaces being adapted to provide a reduced amount of details when the specific interfaces are smaller than the size threshold.

11 . A machine-readable file enabling a tool for classifying documents to allow a multidimensional graphical representation on a computer machine, the tool comprising:

a global interface enabling navigation through a plurality of documents; and

a specific interface adapted to be associated with a document, the specific interface being adapted to display a characterization attribute associated with the document.

12 . The machine-readable file of claim 11 , further comprising a document vector comprising a plurality of documents, each document having a specific interface associated therewith, all documents on the information element vector having at least one characterization attribute in common.

13 . The machine-readable file of claim 11 , wherein the characterization attribute is graphically selectable.

14 . The machine-readable file of claim 11 , wherein a selection of the characterization attribute enables the formation of a document vector.

15 . The machine-readable file of claim 11 , wherein the global interface comprises a control to magnify the size of the plurality of information elements.

16 . The machine-readable file of claim 11 , wherein the specific interface comprises a text receiving portion, the text receiving portion being adapted to receive text related to the document associated therewith.
