An Overview of Information Management and Knowledge Work Studies: Lessons for the Semantic Desktop

چکیده
Several recent initiatives aim to provide a Memex-inspired semantic desktop that would integrate with or replace our current physical and electronic desktop. For these semantic desktop initiatives to succeed, we need to consider how people organise their work and use their desktop. If we do not consider this existing work, the semantic desktop might very well suffer from the low adoption rate that is visible in other personal information management solutions [32]. The contribution of this paper is not technical, but presents an overview of relevant semantic desktop literature from the personal information management and human-computer interaction domains. We extract six practical lessons: focus on the individual, forget rigid classifications, follow the links, remember the context, value the power of paper, and keep

متن کاملUsing Unified Personal Information in Workspaces
Knowledge work gains more and more importance for the workforce. Thereby knowledge workers (KWers) deal with information personally relevant to them and their work. Furthermore, they use tools to support their work like, e.g., desktop workspaces and specialized applications. However, KWer support is hindered in these applications by personal information fragmentation, i.e., applications needed ...
متن کاملDesktop Gateway: Semantic Desktop Integration with Cloud Services
With the development of IT technologies, the amount of information that the user receives and the sources of information which he or she uses, increased dramatically. There is a need of an intelligent desktop application, which will integrate different information sources from both the desktop and the web. To address this problem, we present a solution for a semantic desktop application, which ...
متن کاملKASIMIR - Work process embedded task management leveraging the Semantic Desktop
The effectiveness of semantic applications can be increased significantly if the system does not urge the users to take care of explicit semantic annotation creation. Today, semantic annotation creation is a well known bottleneck in semantic applications for enterprises. On the other hand semantic technologies have already proven to facilitate, e.g., a more efficient information management espe...
