-= Concept: workspace =

+Workspaces are the working environments for the user. They consist of '''a number of [wiki:Blocks]''' that work like small editor windows and can be arranged on the workspaces, as well as additional Information that can be accessed through the '''permanent Workspace-Blocks''' (they cannot be closed). 
 
+Every user starts with the '''Default-Workspace (Home)''' which acts as a playground for work that is not yet related to a certain project or goal.
+
+Every workspace is given a '''separate Browser-Tab/-Window''' and therefore a working environment on its own.
+
+Through the Workspace-Block, '''settings for the Workspace''', such as title, description (and maybe access rights for othere users?) can be entered.
+
+Every workspace contains a '''resources list''', which is simply put a list of bookmarked objects created by the user or somebody else. The Home-Workspace by default contains alle the objects created by the user as resources list, on the other workspaces the user has to manually bookmark objects to add them.
+This bookmarking system is supposed to facilitate finding important Tables, Views etc. whenever they have to be opened or included into another object (like e.g. in maps and views).
+An object created in a certain workspace should be automatically added to the workspace's ressources list when it is saved.
+
+All the Objects (Tables, Views, Maps...) created by the user are accessible from every Workspace and not organized into folders or "possessed" by any workspace.
+
+Workspaces can be '''shared between users'''.
+
+Every workspace contains a '''section for saving notes''' that are visible to everyone who has access to the workspace.
+
+The '''configuration of Blocks''' should only be saved per user and not per workspace, otherwise working on it with multiple users might get complicated, as everyone can move, open and close Blocks as he/she wishes.

+== Properties ==
   * a workspace has a description (smaller or longer text)
   * a workspace has messages (small texts ordered by time of posting)
