Abstract:
The contents of a computer file system are displayed on a graphical user interface. File system metadata descriptive of the computer file system and file metadata descriptive of each of a plurality of files are gathered. A file selection is received indicating a file accessed by the user. A user context is determined by the file metadata. The files are clustered using the file system metadata, a set of file metadata, and the user context. The set of file clusters are mapped onto a visualization model and graphically displayed on the graphical user interface using the visualization model.
