Stephen.
Thanks for the background inormation.
I have contacted the Scopewae people and now wait whether or not there
will be a reply. It seems that some degree of follow-up is in order here.
Wait and see.

I like the chronological interface,
( http://www.scopeware.com/images/products/ocr.jpg
) but would miss the ability to build typed relationships between
documents. And of course,
I've been avoiding proprietary organizers since I stopped using The Brain
in 2000. Here's some
historical info from: http://www.memes.net/index.php3?request=displaypage&NodeID=59
"It looks like LifeStreams is
now called ScopeWare , and they've retooled to hit the enterprise rather
than the individual. ScopeWare offers the same sort of chronological and
index-retrieval that LifeStreams did. I couldn't find a way to do "clustering"
or to build relationships between documents. I do agree that the "folder"
for filing documents on computers is an artifact which needs to die. (

"There's a fairly weak article
on the next-gen computer interface here: http://www.techreview.com/magazine/dec01/tristramall.asp
Unfortunately, they're not really
looking far enough out. They're talking about replacing the desktop metaphor
with pseudo-desktop metaphors. Microsoft has a "3d" task gallery, which
is really just 4 desktop metaphors on one screen. Scopeware has their time-indexed
lifestreams which is just a desktop piled with a stack of papers chronologically.
InXight has their startree hyperbolic tree visualization tool which is
a strictly hierarchical interface. No multiparenting allowed. I'm surprised
there was no mention of graphs at all, not to mention a real 3d interface
a'la Snowcrash. ( 09:47 Nov 20, 2001 )"
Enterprises in the wake of Enron
are now asking: How do we make information go away legitimately, and on
schedule? This is an aspect of Records Management. Can you set retention
policies within Scopeware?See
www.arma.org for more information regarding
records management. I
also believe that once people start using blogging tools in the enterprise,
than the need for traditional knowledge management software is reduced.
I'm not aware of any truly succesful knowledge management deployments.
Of course, k-logs have that same records retention problem, how do you
make the info go away on shedule? Another
snip from: http://www.memes.net/index.php3?request=displaypage&NodeID=342
k-logs: replace expensive enterprise knowledge
management projects with inexpensive, widely used weblog utilities.
