Abstract

Most attempts to aid overworked knowledge workers by changing to a task focus depend on the provision of computer support in categorizing incoming documents and messages. However such categorization depends, in turn, on creating - and maintaining - a categorization scheme (taxonomy, lexicon or ontology) for the user’s (or the group’s) work structure. This raises the problem that if users are suffering from overload, they are unlikely to have the time or expertise to build and maintain an ontology – a task that is recognized to be not a trivial one. This paper describes ongoing research into what options may exist to ease the ontology management burden, and what are the advantages and problems with these options.
