(Wild) Bundles
5
(Wild) Bundles

• manage information for diverse, complex tasks
• contain selected, collected, structured,
  annotated
• are often used in settings with
• high uncertainty
• low predictability
• potentially grave outcomes
• time attention are highly constrained

6
(Wild) Bundles

• There is benefit in creating (active processing
  of information)
• There is benefit in reusing (trigger memory)
• There is benefit in sharing (establish
  collective, situated awareness)

7
Given.

• bundles are everywhere!
• access to bundles provides access to important
  information
• information in bundles is often copied from other
  information sources
• we can keep copied/referenced information linked
  through the use of marks

(Captive) Bundles

• SLIMPad - a scratchpad application to create
  bundles but.with referenced information
  connected to the underlying source data
• helping us explore architectural issues for
  building superimposed applications
• motivating definition of a metamodel to represent
  information with mappings to transform
• inspired by the observational work (but not
  focused on a specific medical task)

Current Activities

• building a tool to support medical task
• developing the architecture for SLIM
• testing and optimizing the metamodel mappings
• beginning a project in the NSF Digital Government
  project to provide access to forest information -
  with partners USDA Forest Service, USDI Bureau
  of Land Management, National Park Service

(CS Team) Plans

• Schema for bundles through templates that
  predefine certain bundles and labels, and
  possibly predefine scraps. less restrictive than
  trad. schema.
• Sharing a bundle that belongs to multiple pads,
  a pad with multiple simultaneous users, and
  interchange of pads and bundles between users.
• Scoping of base layers and marks over those
  layers. There are several general issues for
  modeling and management of superimposed
  information that have emerged from this work and
  other efforts.

16
(CS Team) Plans (cont.)

• Distribution more than a single mark manager.
  Is there a single space of marks or must
  applications keep track of which manager handles
  a particular mark?
• Mark Maintenancewhen base layer changes
• New Kinds of Sources and Marks beyond XML, PDF,
  MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and HTML. We are
  also interested in marks into a base layer that
  is actually superimposed information for another
  application.
• Application Interface try a more query-like API.
  Also, consider an API generator
• Superimposed Information Mapping/Conversion
  applying and extending our metamodel.
