在人机交互领域，起源指的是文件或文件的历史和谱系。起源帮助我们了解文件的演变和关系；文档的不同版本是如何以及何时创建的，或者集合中的不同文档是如何通过复制-粘贴事件相互构建的。虽然已经提出了追踪来源和这种元数据的后续使用的方法，并将其发展成工具，但还没有研究记录典型计算机使用中的来源事件的类型和频率。这是设计有效的查询方法和信息显示所必需的知识。我们对英特尔公司的知识工作者进行了一项纵向研究，跟踪他们使用计算机的来源事件。我们还采访了知识工作者，以确定来源线索对文件回忆的有效性。我们的数据显示，来源关系很常见，来源线索有助于回忆。
In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, provenance refers to the history and genealogy of a document or file. Provenance helps us to understand the evolution and relationships of files; how and when different versions of a document were created, or how different documents in a collection build on each other through copy-paste events. Though methods for tracking provenance and the subsequent use of this meta-data have been proposed and developed into tools, there have been no studies documenting the types and frequency of provenance events in typical computer use. This is knowledge essential for the design of efficient query methods and information displays. We conducted a longitudinal study of knowledge workers at Intel Corporation tracking provenance events in their computer use. We also interviewed knowledge workers to determine the effectiveness of provenance cues for document recall. Our data shows that provenance relationships are common, and provenance cues aid recall.
