ForgetIT 1st Review Meeting, April 29-30, 2014 Kaiserslautern, Germany
ForgetIT Project GA600826, 1st Review Meeting, Kaiserslautern, April 2014
Realize & evaluate the ForgetIT principles for Personal Preservation
Leveraging effort for Personal Information Management (PIM) using
the Semantic Desktop approach and PoF-Framework
Objectives of WP
Why PIM & Semantic Desktop?
Allows to cover daily activities of users for• getting hold of the resources• deriving evidences for preservation value & memory buoyancy• providing further context for remembering
by providing benefits for PIM
for enabling preservation and reducing required effort
ForgetIT Project GA600826, 1st Review Meeting, Kaiserslautern, April 2014
Focus of Year 1
• Identifying scenarios, requirements & use cases
• Deriving enabling features from the Semantic Desktop & extending the underlying ontology PIMO (Personal Information Model)
• Extending Semantic Desktop and first prototypes/mock-ups
• Preparations for evaluations in Year 2

PIMO PIMO
Personal Information Model (PIMO) in a nutshell
PIMO represent the user‘s mental model as vocabulary for applications

Scenarios & requirements for Personal Preservation (D9.1)• Input from all WPs & influenced from WP 2 survey• Main scenarios
- Trips- Events- Reminiscence- Hobbies & Noise (daily activities)- Preservation
Prototypes & Mock-ups (D9.2)
Extended Semantic Desktop Infrastructure• Embedding first ForgetIT results
Achievements in Year 1
ForgetIT Project GA600826, 1st Review Meeting, Kaiserslautern, April 2014
Covers the travel scenario in WP9
~1500 real photos from travel and events• most prominently a Costa Rica
journey
Available as Stainer PIMO• incl. HowTo for installing
by everyone• on the ForgetIT testbed
Photos annotated by the persons who shot the photos
incl. preparation work (travel info, bookmarks)
Data Set for Personal Preservation: Stainer Data Set
ForgetIT Project GA600826, 1st Review Meeting, Kaiserslautern, April 2014
Semantic Desktop used for PIM in daily work
at DFKI for over 2 years• “eat-your-own-dog-food” • PIMO concepts & resources (over
10.000) and access log
Provides insights and real data for
memory buoyancy, preservation
values, etc. (input to WP3)

Extended SemanticFileExplorer with PIMOCloud & PoF-framework
SemanticFileExplorer embeds
PIMO in Windows Explorer
PIMOCloud realizes PIMO-based
cloud storage service• Provides API• Access PIMO resources on
various devices
Interaction with PoF-Framework
enables synergetic preservation &
managed forgetting of user’s resources
on the computer (WP8,WP5)

Preservation embedded in File System
Preserving a file is embedded in
the MS Windows Explorer for easy
access
Restore from the archive
embedded in the
file system
ForgetIT Project GA600826, 1st Review Meeting, Kaiserslautern, April 2014
Using Memory Buoyancy (MB) for realizing Forgetting
MB calculation based on evidences
from Semantic Desktop
For uncluttering the desktop from
unused files by removing them from
the file system
For uncluttering the PIMO by hiding
things assumed to be forgotten
ForgetIT Project GA600826, 1st Review Meeting, Kaiserslautern, April 2014
PIMORE – PIMO-based Reminiscence
Prototype for personal photo
organization using the PIMO• for effortless preservation &
towards reminiscence
Leverage user’s efforts for photo
albums to get evidences for• context• relevance
Basis for discussion with WP2 for
scenarios & evaluation settings.

Role of the Semantic Desktop components
mobile PIMO server archive• Immediate relevant
material is available• Recency in model as well
as important concepts (hotness function)
• Only most recent versions of resources required
• Constant swapping/ refreshing (in WLAN) to keep recency is OK
• Quick availability of recent & work related material
• Broader range of resources: work relevant are available on immediate access (e.g., think of offline requirements); outdated ones are available on request
• Clutter of not-relevant stuff is gone, i.e., details can be removed from desktop
• “relieve the burden to see everything”
• All versions are available upon request
• However, over years, detailed material would be condensed, i.e., keep the deliverable but not the versions of the file, not necessary any more (e.g., after 1 year)
desktop• Provides access to all
material• Condense and compact to
get a sharper view• Old versions of files can be
deleted & moved to backup/archive
• Semantic associations allow to remember & access archived material
• Users are able to “pull on strings” to get the information back; like reconstructing a certain event by starting with the impressive building it was located.
