First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for organizing files, data items, web site members, or web pages, the method comprising:
- automatically aggregating with a first data processor user-defined metalabels of a first user for each of a first plurality of electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages into a first plurality of metalabel hierarchical structures, wherein each of the first plurality of electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages is also identifiable by a filename, file path, member identification, or domain name on a corresponding server computer, wherein more than one of the plurality of electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages is assigned a same user-defined metalabel to organize the more than one of the plurality of electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages in a same metalabel hierarchical structure; and
automatically forming for the first user or a second user a personalized second plurality of metalabel hierarchies from the user-defined metalabels of the first user as a function of a predetermined profile of the first user or the second user, wherein the personalized second plurality of metalabel hierarchies includes a reduced metalabel subset of the user-defined metalabels of the first user.

Abstract
A method in a data processing system and apparatus for organizing files, data items, web site members, or web pages, structured or unstructured, of multiple users stored across one or more server computers into hierarchical file structures on a recordable medium of a data processing system. A user-defined metalabel is assigned to each of the electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages. The electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages are organized as a function of the metalabels into the hierarchical file structures. The method includes automatically forming personalized hierarchies, such as a shadow copy for a second user, from the user-defined metalabels of a first user according to a user profile. The method includes automatically forming keywords of strings of at least two user-defined metalabels or a portion thereof, and automatically forming search structures of the keywords existing simultaneously with the plurality of hierarchical structures.
