Haystack: a platform for creating, organizing and visualizing semistructured information
1. OVERVIEW In this demonstration we present Haystack, an environment that allows users to easily manage their documents, e-mail, appointments, tasks, and other information [1]. Haystack uses a semistructured data model to describe the connections between different documents in a user’s corpus as well as the metadata concerning each document. This amalgamation provides users with a unified framework for managing all of their information, e.g., documents, e-mails, etc., through a single interface. Furthermore, Haystack’s user interface exposes general tools for navigating the various kinds of information found in users’ corpora.
