Abstract

The complete lack of structure and semantics in email content is one reason why data channeled between the sender and the recipient is hard to be correctly interpreted and acted upon. This causes information overload, tedious personal information management, and jeopardizes the disconnected workflow that is characteristic of email. Through Semanta, we will show how by extending the current email model to support light-weight semantics pertaining to the purposes of email messages, we can substantially reduce the occurrence of these problems.

Description

(Demonstration @ IUI 2008) The complete lack of structure and semantics in email content is one reason why data channeled between the sender and the recipient is hard to be correctly interpreted and acted upon. This causes information overload, tedious personal information management, and jeopardizes the disconnected workflow that is characteristic of email. Through Semanta, we will show how by extending the current email model to support light-weight semantics pertaining to the purposes of email messages, we can substantially reduce the occurrence of these problems.
