Abstract

A method includes identifying interrelated files stored on one or more storage devices for each topic grouping. The interrelated files correspond to a particular topic grouping and are determined based on metadata associated with the interrelated files. A relative importance for each of the interrelated files within each topic grouping is determined. The relative importance indicates an importance of each of the interrelated files in a corresponding topic grouping relative to the other files in the corresponding topic grouping based on metadata associated with the interrelated files. A montage of visual representations of the interrelated files for each topic grouping is displayed using a visual indication of the relative importance.
