Title: Time-Based Authoring Tools for Informal Information Management
Abstract: When we generate writings and drawings in creative knowledge work, such as in producing a company report, writing a paper, making presentation slides, or in developing programs, we often go back to what we have previously authored. This paper presents our history-centric approach to support such types of authoring. The approach first saves all editing actions in an editor in its history database, and then provides the Time-based Slicing mechanism to interactively visualize the historical data in various levels of granularity. We instantiate the approach through the design and development of HeEditor (History-Enriched Editor) for writing, and HeSketch (History-Enriched Sketch) for drawing.
