Abstract

We daily all use the file system of our operating system to organize our files of any kind (from documents to data and applications), both plain users and IT professionals. The tree-structured and semantics-neutral approach of file systems is the dominant method for organizing information, decades now. In this paper we elaborate on the following two questions: (a) can a file system structure be benefited by a Knowledge Graph (KG), (b) can the construction of a KG be facilitated by the file system? We elaborate on these questions and then we propose an automatic method for producing KGs from folder structures. The method can be configured through small, and easy to write, configuration files that can be placed in the desired folders to guide the KG construction. We present FS2KG, an implementation of a proof-of-concept prototype that includes a file explorer (enriched with KG-related information). Then we present empirical and experimental results, as well as a task-based evaluation with users. In brief, the approach can facilitate the rapid creation of KGs, as well as various file system related tasks. Beyond the empirical validation, we include a discussion of potential advancements and applications.
