Abstract
Provided is a method for the standardization of information management among different information sources and different information formats. With respect to information sources that employ different information storage formats, an organizational proxy, or “shadow,” of the organization structure of the first information source is created in the second information source and a shadow of the second information source is created in the first information source. Information stored in conjunction with the first information source is copied into the shadow within the second information source. The information in the first source is then either maintained or a link to corresponding information in the second information source is created within the first information source and the first information is deleted. The claimed subject matter provides a graphical user interface (GUI) so that a user can copy information from one information source to another by executing a “drag & drop” action.
