Abstract
We introduce the concept of information components and show how it can allow non-expert users to construct their personal information spaces by selecting, customising and composing components defined by the system or other users. The system presented is based on a plug-and-play concept where new user-defined applications can be created and integrated into the portal-style interface based on default templates which can easily be customised by the users.
