Haystack: A Customizable General-Purpose Information Management Tool for End Users of Semistructured Data
Summary: Haystack: a customizable, general-purpose information management system that leverages a semistructured data model to let naive end users capture rich, schema‑flexible information. Exposes this richness through familiar interfaces that hide schemas/tuples/queries and outlines open research on usability, schema mediation, and querying support.
