“…This is something that we have investigated by building an information management layer on top of Memsy to offer a distributed personal resource management system that reflects features of many modern PIM tools, such as a collection model for managing resources and various forms of flagging, tagging, rating and labelling along with faceted search over these attributes. Details of this work can be found in [14].…”

“…This article extends a previous publication [15] by not only providing more details of the approach and the Memsy implementation, but also adding a section that describes how we adapted similarity-based image retrieval techniques to support reconciliation and reports on our evaluations.…”

“…Our aim was to provide sufficient information to give some idea of the methods used and to convince the reader that it can offer valuable support to the user faced with the task of filling missing gaps in the file history. Further details of the experiments and results can be found in [14] where we also describe automatic reconciliation processes and other experiments using string similarity measures over filenames as a basis for reconciliation.…”

Personal digital resources now tend to be stored, managed and shared using a variety of devices and online services. As a result, different versions of resources are often stored in different places, and it has become increasingly difficult for users to keep track of them. We introduce the concept of a file history graph that can be used to provide users with a global view of resource provenance and enable them to track specific versions across devices and services. We describe how this has been used to realise a version-aware environment, called Memsy, and report on a lab study used to evaluate the proposed workflow. We also describe how reconciliation services can be used to fill in missing links in the file history graph and present a detailed study for the case of images as a proof of concept.

“…The Memsy prototype [4] provides a cross-device and cross-service ap proach to addressing some of the fragmentation issues reported by our par ticipants. Although Memsy supports cloud services such as Dropbox it does not appear to support the integration of links to online collections (such as YouTube) which were used to cope with storage limitations.…”

Abstract. Personal information collections have expanded to include video files but users often organize their content with the same tools they use for other simpler media types. We analyze the 'native' video management behavior ex pressed in 35 self-interviews and diary studies produced by New Zealand stu dents, to create a 'rich picture' of personal video collection size, formats, organ ization and intended usage. We consider how conventional digital libraries can better support usage of personal video material.
