- TagsOS Slide -
- TagsOS is a desktop based operting system that relies on a file system governed by tags
- rather than traditional folders.
- At TagsOS, we believe that the current method of storing and searching for files is
- almost redundant because it's based on a real world concept of storing file that could
- be made more efficient
- Interface Slide 1 -
- This is the interface, it looks fairly similar to any OS interface you've seen before,
- and this is because our main concern isn't to take you away from what you know and love
- At the top left of the desktop you'll see a search area where you can readily search for
- a desired file through the use of tags
- Next to the search area are the 3 buttons that you can use to get to anything on the
- computer, the first will be used as a programs centre, where you can find any programs
- installed on the system
- The 2nd will be used for getting to files and folders, because this might be a faster
- method for those of you who know exactly where things are and would rather use that
- from time to time
- The 3rd button will be use for any social networking you want to do, there will be access
- to Facebook and Twitter and also access to emails.
- Interface Slide 2 -
- Here is a sample of the search window, all tags down the left side, an address bar at the
- top so you know where the file is, a tags helper, which will present you with similar or
- relevant tags to what you have searched currently
- Underneath this will be all the files which contain the relevant tags and on the right is
- a search bar and all the information regarding the currently highlighted file
- Interface Slide 3 -
- Here is just a preview of an example search
- Features Slide 1 -
- Tagging files, what this system is focused around, users will be able to add semantic tags
- to any file on the system
- Tag hierarchy, relating to those tags which can fall into a hierarchy, such as soccer and
- tennis falling under sports and so on
- Users will also be able to search and sort all their files based on the tags associated with
- every file
- Sometimes when you open the a search window, it's easier to look at tags that you use often
- so that you never have to look too far for a tag which is your main focus, this is where
- tag weighting comes into play giving tags with more usage a higher score so they become
- more relevant in searches
- Features Slide 2 -
- Automated tagging is useful for files that you forget to add tags to, these tags can vary from
- the website it came from, if it was from social media, it might be related to the person you
- got it from or author and so on
- The system will also manage untagged files in an area where users can later go and add tags
- if they wish to
- Purpose Slide -
- The purpose for TagsOS is so that files can be stored in a logical way, a way that makes
- sense to the user so they can place a single file in multiple locations under many tags
- TagsOS will be easier for the users to find files based on properties of that file, which
- will come more naturally than a file location
- Why Slide -
- Why use TagsOS? Well, simple enough, because it's an easier and more efficient file system
- to use
- Because it prevents a user from losing a file because of forgetting where it was placed
- And it also makes it easier for users to categorise files that aren't necessarily easy
- to group in an existing file system
- Innovation Slide -
- TagsOS is innovative because there are no current mainstream implementations of such an
- operating system that take advantage of this file system
- And it's a different approach to the normal searching and sorting of files
- Cost Slide -
- TagsOS will be free and open source, and also open for community development
- This is because the more people who work together on this, the better it will be
- However, that being said, we encourage some sort of donations if you're willing
- to support our ideas
