Ah, that reminded me to get the appendices of Rick Boardman's thesis: http://www.iis.ee.ic.ac.uk/~rick/thesis/ he has good material online (including questionnaires and legal/privacy statements) and I will build on it My study will be about the PIM aspects of semantic desktop, the key features are a system-wide (to be precise: PSI-wide) tagging system, offering related links for navigation (supporting orienteering behavior), and personal wiki. do you know of publicly available questionnaires/results from similar studies? best Leo It was Heiko Haller who said at the right time 01.10.2008 12:12 the following words: > > On 1.
