How people organize bookmarks

The process of creating and managing bookmarks has been on my mind of late as there's an upcoming redesign of the Firebird add bookmark UI.

This interesting google query, "how people organize bookmarks" , showed up in my surfmind referrers today.

Some interesting bits, a graph approach that angles toward my spiral viz from a CMU student in '99 and a keyword tagging based approach (similar to Epiphany?).

My picks of the literature on this are on the prior art page.

Shout Out

Welcome to visitors from OReillyNet.  Bob DuCharme collaborated with me a few months back on the xml history flavor that sextant currently produces.  I'm overdue in surfacing that material but it's coming soon. I've got a functioning sextant install in Firebird and am polishing it slowly.  The short term goals are buttons for window history -- tabbed browsing makes the tab based back button insufficient, as well as a non-trimmed back button.

More lofty goals include a sort of alt-tab pane switcher for tabbed windows.

In the mean time, if you find the bookmark browser useful, please file bugs on issues you experience or  features you'd like to have.

Bookmarks in RDF

Curious as to the RDF underlying your bookmarks?  chrome://mozwho/content/rdf.html will show you the serialization.  Looking ahead to export functions, this is a first step.  Not sure yet how to hook this up to an XSL transform....
