论文摘要
现代知识工作者通常需要同时使用多种资源,例如文档,网页和应用程序。在计算环境中的这种复杂性迫使工人在工作过程中恢复各种资源。但是,传统的策展方法如书签,最新文档历史记录和文件系统对有效检索的限制。这些功能通常仅适用于一种应用程序中一种类型的资源,而忽略了单个任务所需的资源之间的相互依赖性。此外,基于文本的手柄并不能为用户提供丰富的提示来识别其相关资源。因此,需要定位和重新开放相关资源的需求极大地阻碍了知识工作者的生产力。为了解决这些问题,我们设计和开发了剪贴簿,这是一个新颖的应用程序,用于使用基于屏幕截图的书签的应用程序进行数字资源策划。剪贴簿提取并存储Windows的所有元数据(URL,文件位置和应用程序名称)在捕获的屏幕截图中可见,以促进以后还原它们。为期一周的现场研究表明,基于屏幕截图的书签帮助参与者策划了数字资源。此外,参与者报告说,多模式 - 视觉和文本 - 数据帮助他们回忆了过去的计算机活动,并有效地重建工作环境。
Modern knowledge workers typically need to use multiple resources, such as documents, web pages, and applications, at the same time. This complexity in their computing environments forces workers to restore various resources in the course of their work. However, conventional curation methods like bookmarks, recent document histories, and file systems place limitations on effective retrieval. Such features typically work only for resources of one type within one application, ignoring the interdependency between resources needed for a single task. In addition, text-based handles do not provide rich cues for users to recognize their associated resources. Hence, the need to locate and reopen relevant resources can significantly hinder knowledge workers' productivity. To address these issues, we designed and developed Scrapbook, a novel application for digital resource curation across applications that uses screenshot-based bookmarks. Scrapbook extracts and stores all the metadata (URL, file location, and application name) of windows visible in a captured screenshot to facilitate restoring them later. A week-long field study indicated that screenshot-based bookmarks helped participants curate digital resources. Additionally, participants reported that multimodal -- visual and textual -- data helped them recall past computer activities and reconstruct working contexts efficiently.
