Personal Digital Document Management
Knowledge workers today have a lot of digital documents to manage,
and most employ some sort of organizational system or scheme to help them.
Most commonly used software provides the ability to create a hierarchical organization,
but the appropriateness of this structure for personal digital document
management has not been established. This research aims to understand
how people currently organize their documents, identify the strengths and
weaknesses of current systems and explore the usefulness of other information
structures. This will provide insight into how personal digital document management
systems can be made more usable.
