Exploring property-based document organization in a collaborative note-sharing system
Jonathan Huang, Joseph Michiels · 2000
This paper investigates the applicability of property-based document organization to NotePals, a collaborative note-sharing system [1,2]. The traditional hierarchical structure for organizing documents confines users to the file system's representation and prevents them from forming their own organization schemes, especially in a shared environment. We have designed and evaluated a low-fidelity prototype on a collaborative note-sharing system based on the idea of an organization system using document properties [3]. A user study confirmed the applicability of this concept to the task of managing notes.
