Individual user needs are subjective, perspective, and context-dependent at the same time. In this paper, I will pre-sent an adaptive multi-perspective user interface which learns the individual preferences when working with documents, i.e. the way a user categorizes documents and clusters them within direc-tories. The system is built on dynamic conceptualizations of docu-ments and folders based on term correlations providing the basis for an integrated and associative management of office docu-ments, emails and bookmarks. Users get assistance in classifica-tion and retrieval by offering a wide range of techniques which may be combined in any way. The system records successful query processes for reuse and further allows users to publish respective expert profiles learned by the system.
