I think properties can be used for this. I personally like the org-secretary module, described nicely here by the author: http://juanreyero.com/article/emacs/org-teams.html Also, personalized agendas <http://orgmode.org/manual/Storing-searches.html#Storing-searches> for your entire set of org-files is useful here. --paf
