1. A method for displaying personal database contents on a computer screen, the personal database containing a plurality of data files, each data file is assigned by the user at least one associative identifier that the user associates with said data file, the method comprising the step of:
obtaining a primary graph being a graphical representation of a relationship of all the associative identifiers which the user has assigned to the plurality of data files contained in the personal database, in the form of a network of nodes and links, by generating a respective node for each associative identifier and a link for each pair of associative identifiers assigned to the same data file by the user, such that each node in the primary graph comprises an icon corresponding to a single associative identifier from among the assigned associative identifiers, and each link identifies a node pair which depicts a pair of associative identifiers assigned to the same data file within the personal database;
calculating for each user assigned associative identifier for each respective node a subjective significance weighting factor (m), the subjective significance weighting factor (m) determining the size of the respective node icon;
calculating for each link a weighting factor (n), the weighting factor (n) determining a display parameter of the link; and
obtaining a modified graph in response to each calculation of at least one of the weighting factors (m, n).
