DocSphere

The Docsphere system designed to provide additional information Layer above Windows explorer shell file management. This information layer holds information about documents that are dissimilated on different Locations on disks, networks and Internet.The documents can be Word, Excel, graphic files on the disks or networks; Internet addresses etc.So Docsphere is the system for managing data about data or metadata. Or in other words Docsphere allows managing advanced card index of documents. The basic unit of information management is Link or Document Card. The card contains path to the target document or scanned image or to internet address (URL) or other entity and additional data (metadata) such as card name that can differ from the target file name, sorting keys, keywords and notes for searching, custom data fields that can be added by user for any custom needs. The cards are organized in Folders. Folders are organized in tree structure. The document card can be searched by sorting keys, keywords and notes, custom data fields etc.The Docsphere system aim at this stage is not searching in the sea of information, but organizing the information that you have reached once for fast search and reuse for the next time you or somebody else will need it. Our plan provide Docsphere system with SMART searching layer in the future.The main advantage of the Docsphere system is that it allows managing and sharing the information about large amounts of documents on enterprise level with large number of users using shared database located on MSSQL server. The system can be easily integrated with other systems. The system of cause can be used also for home needs, especially for building Internet card index. The system can be also shared on the base of Access 2000 MDB file, but this will work efficiently on good stable networks and until the database will be relatively small.
