Abstract
Collection information managers improve the productivity of knowledge workers by organizing information about arbitrary collections of computer files into collection data structures, for use by automated collection processing programs. Three kinds of knowledge are obtained and organized by collection information managers: collection instance information, collection content information, and collection processing information. Software programs can use information in collection data structures to precisely understand and process collections in useful ways that were not previously possible.
