Although desktop search engines are now widely available on the computers of typical users, navigation through folder hierarchies is still the dominant mode of information access. Most users still prefer to store and search for their information within a strict hierarchy of folders.
This paper describes TagTree, a new concept for storing and retrieving files and folders using tagging and automatically maintained navigational hierarchies. TagTree is compatible with all currently prevalent software environments. A prototype implementation called
tagstore
provides a flexible framework for experimentation and a testbed for both usability studies and longer term field tests.
Preliminary test results show a very positive user acceptance rate of using TagTrees for storing and re-finding files.
