Content item content model

User's mental model of adding Kind aspects to content items

  • The unimportance of email
  • Users add "Communications", not email characteristics to items
  • Email or IM attributes are attached to an item as the "transport protocol" wrapper once an item as been "Sent" (ie. C(e) or C(im))
  • As a result, the transport protocol (email or IM), instead of being the primary way in which people identify, describe and organize their information is deprecated in Chandler to be simply a detail, an attribute of an item. The technology of transportation is subordinate to the content of the information item.

  • Communications items are essentially Notes that have a From: and To: field
    • Assigned tasks
    • Event invitations
    • Disseminated resources
  • Communications may or may not have been transported via Email / IM, they may simply be records of verbal, phone communications

  • C(e)+T: Task that has been assigned via email. NOT an Email that is also a Task
  • C(e)+Ca: Event invitation thas has been sent out via email. NOT an Email that is also an Event.
  • C(e)+Ct: Contacts that have been shared via email. NOT an Email that is also a Contact.
  • C(e)+R: A resource that has been shared via email. NOT an Email that is also a Resource.
  • T+C: Tasks that have been put on the calendar. NOT An Event that is also a Task.
  • R+T: A resource that is a task (ie. A powerpoint presentation I have to finish)
  • R + Ca: A resource that is the subject of a Calendar event (ie. Meeting about a specification)
