ABSTRACT:
An electronic system using collectors, rosters, notifiers, and links provides a uniform system for communications, information management and human organization. Since the collectors have unique addresses, each collector belonging to a user can be used as a separate email inbox to provide a single user account with multiple email inboxes. Furthermore, collectors can have access control attributes to limit access to the collectors. The notifier provides a uniform location to view incoming new messages and documents. The links can be used to automatically transfer information between collectors as well as providing access authorization to collectors. For example, a link in subscription mode from a first collector to a second collector would automatically copy all documents placed in the second collector to the first collector. Similarly, if the same link were in forwarding mode, documents placed in the first collector are copied to the second collector. Rosters contain links to multiple collectors. A link to a roster is equivalent to a link to all the collectors linked in the roster. In addition sending a document to a roster is equivalent to sending a copy of the document to every collector linked in the roster.
