LinkLens is a new approach to information management that provides an intuitive mix of tagging and folder hierarchies. LinkLens is built in ruby on rails. LinkLens allows a user to search the sets of associations between different artifacts such as users, resources, files, discussions and so on. In the web interface all artifacts can be dragged and dropped into a context box and the set of artifacts associated with the those in the context box are then displayed. The contents of the context box form a location, so other artifacts can then be dragged and dropped into the results pane which causes them to acquire associations with the current context artifacts. New artifacts created will be placed in this location, since they will automatically acquire associations with everything in the context. This creates a sense of location associated with a set of artifacts and this serves as an alternative to locations defined by structured hierachies. The LinkLens system has been fast prototyped in Ruby on Rails and makes extensive use of Ruby on Rails AJAX support.
