Coping with an increasing number of files is one of the challenges of current desktops. Adding semantic capabilities is one possible solution. Aligned with this proposal, this work introduces the notion of "knowledge folder" as a coarse set of documents bound together by a common ontology. The ontology plays the role of a clipboard which can be transparently accessed by the file editors to either export (i.e. annotation) or import (i.e. authoring) metadata within the knowledge folder. Traditional desktop operations are now re-interpreted and framed by this ontology: copyu0026paste becomes annotationu0026authoring, and folder digging becomes property traversal. However, a desktop setting requires seamless tooling for these ideas to get through. To this end, this work proposes the use of the mouse as the "semantic device". Through the mouse, the user can classify, annotate, author, and locate a file as a resource of the underlying ontology. Moreover, being editor-independent, the mouse accounts for portability and maintainability to face the myriad of formats and editors which characterizes current desktops. The "semantic mouse" is implemented as a plug-in for Windows. |
