Abstract
As the amount of information that individuals and organisations have to deal with on a daily basis increases dramatically, new ways of information management are needed. The individual needs to effectively manage large collections of information and associated knowledge that builds up around these collections as well as to effectively share these collections of information and the knowledge with others in a collaborative environment. Current information management strategies in our view are inadequate for more intuitive browsing of information and knowledge. An innovative approach to personal information and knowledge management and sharing, based on conceptual organising principles is presented and which will support flexible working environments and help individuals to effectively share information and knowledge in the virtual organisation.
