Claims22
An information management system comprising:
- (a) at least one data storage device;
- (b) at least one processor coupled to the at least one data storage device, the at least one processor configured to:
- (i) receive at least one object, the object having a location in a hierarchical file organizational structure;
- (ii) in response to receiving the object, generate at least one prospective keyword for the at least one object based upon the location of the object in the hierarchical organization structure, wherein to generate the at least one prospective keyword includes to determine whether the location in the hierarchical file organizational structure has a corresponding keyword;
- and
- (iii) associate the at least one object with one or more of the at least one prospective keyword, wherein to associate the at least one object with one or more of the at least one prospective keyword includes associating the at least one object with the at least one prospective keyword in response to determining that the location in the hierarchical file organizational structure has a corresponding keyword, and where the at least one prospective keyword includes the corresponding keyword.
A method for managing information, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving at least one object, the object having a location in a hierarchical file organizational structure;
- (b) in response to receiving the object, generating at least one prospective keyword for the at least one object based upon the location of the object in the hierarchical organization structure, wherein generating the at least one prospective keyword includes determining whether the location in the hierarchical file organizational structure has a corresponding keyword;
- and
- (c) associating the at least one object with one or more of the at least one prospective keyword, wherein to associate the at least one object with one or more of the at least one prospective keyword includes associating the at least one object with the at least one prospective keyword in response to determining that the location in the hierarchical file organizational structure has a corresponding keyword, and where the at least one prospective keyword includes the corresponding keyword.
