How do you manage your documents?

Venue: DSTC Boardroom, Level 7, General Purpose South

Abstract:

  Do you know this feeling when you can't find something you wrote a
  few months ago? It should be in some folder somewhere in your file
  system, but somehow your interpretation of the directory structure
  must have been different when you filed it. You start asking cats
  and dogs about it but they spend a long time searching without
  success. And things get even worse if you search something someone
  else wrote.

  We wondered what would happen if you take a full-featured search
  engine, a few indexing tools for different file formats and a little
  bit of our own technology, put it all together and shake it
  well. The result of this experiment is a little document retrieval
  tool we call "Docco" and which allows you to do rather complex
  queries on your document collection, for which the results are
  retrieved fast and displayed in a structured way. We love it -- will
  you?

  The talk will give a quick introduction into the idea, the tools
  used and then go straight into a demo of the result. The demo will
  run live on some DSTC collection, at the moment we aim for at least
  the website, most likely we will be able to run on all documents
  found on the shared network drives.

Note:

  RSVP is not required, however if you are at another site and want to
  video/tele-conference in please contact Jody Treloar
  (treloar@dstc.edu.au) so that this can be arranged.
