Actually I wanted to mimic the structure of the 'TheBrain' program.
(http://www.thebrain.com) .  My idea was to arrange the information
linking in better way. The 'tag' mechanism of org-mode provides this
in a way, but a visual linking  can  become more useful.

For example, tagging a node, would bring all nodes with that tag
together and display in other-window.
