Ok, so how about other kinds of organizing principles for this data, eg timebased. Here's an interesting system developed by David Gelernter and his students at Yale - now marketed as software called "Scopeware".

Their approach:
"Our philosophy is based on the basic premise that information should be woven into a flowing narrative stream with a past, present and future that you can tune in from anywhere. Information should mirror the structure of your life, not the structure of your computers and that it should be presented in a form that reflects human recall: time, type, look and essence . "
