Abstract

Briefly, the method for graphical collaboration with unstructured data provides multiple concurrent collaboration displays. One or more of the collaboration displays may be configured as a free-form display where a data object may be generated and viewed. Structure may be added to the data object by associating the data with one or more categories, where each category relates to a higher-level concept. Each collaboration display may use a selectable set of categories to display the data object. In this way, each collaboration display may be configured to view the data object with a desired level of structure. In a particular example, the data object may be added or modified in one of the collaboration displays, and that addition or change is indicated on the other collaboration displays substantially simultaneously.
