Lincks was developed for complex information system applications where editing and browsing of information in the database is of paramount importance. The focus is on sharing of small information chunks which combine to make up complex information objects used by different users for different purposes. The information chunks are semi-structured in that they contain one part which is well-structured to facilitate addition of A.I. Processing within the system, and one part which is unstructured and suitable for management by the user. The database includes its own X interface.
