Title
Everything is Filed under 'File': Conceptual Challenges in Applying Semantic Search to Network Shares for Collaborative Work
Abstract
Lots of professional collaborative work relies on shared networked file systems for easy collaboration, documentation, and as a joint workspace. We have found that in an engineering setting with tens of thousands of files, usual desktop search does not work as well, especially if the project space is huge, contains a large number of non-textual files that are difficult to search for, and is partially unknown by the users due to information needs reaching into previous years or projects. We therefore propose an approach that joins content and metadata analysis, link derivation, grouping, and other measures to arrive at high-level features suitable for semantic similarity and retrieval to improve information access for this case of professional search.
