Title
Flexible Querying of Personal Information
Abstract
The amount of personal data that users store and access in personal information systems has grown massively. Simple flexible search tools are a necessity for users to be able to access the data they need. In addition, the file organization that is typical in file systems is not a practical logical view anymore as applications may store information across files, or combine different objects into a single file. Users cannot be expected to know or remember the exact location and specific details about the data they are looking for; search techniques should allow for some approximation during query processing in order to return useful results while accounting for possible errors in the query. We present a scoring frame- work that takes into account approximation in both the content and structural dimensions of the data. Our query model extends the search to consider information across file boundaries. We implemented a prototype of our search techniques over a real data set and report on our experimental results.
