Definition

• Allow users to create "virtual" collections that group objects together using a defined set of criteria
• Allow users to see all objects contained within a collection
• Allow users to add or remove any object from a collection
• Allow users to add the results of a given search string to a collection (or create a new collection from the results of a search)
