ATTRIBUTE-BASED NAMING
[ Extended Overview | People
| Publications ]
Overview
As storage capacity continues to increase, users find it increasingly
difficult to manage their files using traditional directory heirarchies.
Attribute-based naming systems can help, but rely on users and content
analysis to provide attributes, with limited success. To make attribute-based
naming more effective, we are developing techniques to gather attributes
based on context analysis. These techniques use the system context
of a user accessing files to gather attributes and create relationships
between files. By combining these techniques with user and content-based
assignment, we can increase both the quantity and quality of attributes
available.
