Infocard Organizer is a simple GUI-based Java application that runs on both Windows and Mac OS computers. This application makes it easy to create, edit, and manipulate infocards without having to write raw XML that conforms to the InfoML standard. Using it, you can

• enter, edit, add, delete, and reorder collections of infocards
• save an infocard collection as InfoML
• load an InfoML file into Infocard Organizer
• structure a collection of infocards hierarchically (thus creating a simple outline)
• filter and format data from infocards into human-readable forms (e.g., text files, web pages)

Infocard Organizer can transform a collection of infocards into any desired human-readable form by applying a user-created XSLT file to it. In this way, users with access to XSLT expertise can transform the same infocard data into a variety of useful forms. (The Infocard Organizer distribution includes several sample XSLT files that enable users with no XSLT experience to print out the data they have created using Infocard Organizer.)

You can download Infocard Organizer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/infocardorgnizr/

Creating a new notecard. Unlike paper notecards, any field in an infocard notecard can be of any length. Note that the tags associated with this card are separated by semicolons; this means that tags can contain spaces and other characters.

 

Viewing an infocard file as an outline. In this view, each infocard (represented by the text of that infocard's title) is displayed as one line in the body of the window. The text of the infocard's content field is not visible here, although it can be edited and printed out (see below).

 

Exporting a file of infocards. Infocard Organizer includes several export formats, and users with programming experience can add their own.

 

An example of exporting your data from Infocard Organizer. Using the Export feature of this application, you can export your infocards to a variety of useful text formats. Infocards are exported in the same order as they are displayed in the "list" (not shown) and "outline" (above) views.
