Defragmenting Information Using the Syncables Framework

Overview Information fragmentation is the problem of having a user's data tied to different formats, distributed across multiple locations, manipulated by different applications, and residing in a generally disconnected manner. This paper takes a closer look at the problem and describes the design of a framework that addresses information fragmentation of personal information across multiple platforms. This framework recognizes that there is data beyond files, provides a way to address data items consistently across applications and devices, and enables migrating task information seamlessly across diverse platforms without additional effort on part of the users.
