Design concepts and patterns for a digital workspace in current web applications

I am looking for references to design concepts and patterns that is related to a digital workspace that is generic for working collating information from different sources and working with them.

I know that there are some examples out there already like Evernote or OneNote, but they seem to be focused on workflow, tasks, reminders and list based information. Or else they are mainly UX related tools designed for drawing and collaboration with other people (e.g. editing and commenting with revision and version control).

The closest thing I can think of is probably a digital laboratory notebook where you can embed data, charts, references, and other links in a non-structured layout, but these also tend to be designed specifically for scientists (e.g. they have sections for people to sign off on the work with date stamps).

Are there design concepts (e.g. on dribbble or behance) or design patterns out there (based on any of the front-end development frameworks), or if not then is there a particular reason why it is not needed? I assume it is because things like Google Drive and Google Docs is established and free.
