Tapestry是Xerox Palo Alto研究中心开发的一个实验性邮件系统。Tapestry的动机来自于电子邮件的日益增长的使用，这导致用户被大量的传入文档淹没[2，7，12]。处理大量邮件的一种方法是提供邮件列表，使用户能够只订阅他们感兴趣的列表。然而，如图1所示，特定用户感兴趣的文档集很少整齐地映射到现有列表。一个更好的解决方案是，用户指定一个扫描所有列表的过滤器，选择感兴趣的文档，不管它们在什么列表中。一些邮件系统支持基于文档内容的过滤[3，5，6，8]。Tapestry工作的一个基本原则是，通过让人类参与过滤过程，可以实现更有效的过滤。除了基于内容的过滤之外，Tapestry系统还被设计和构建为支持协同过滤。协同过滤简单地说，人们通过记录他们对所读文档的反应来协作，以帮助彼此执行过滤。这种反应可能是一个文件特别有趣（或特别无趣）。这些反应，更一般地称为注释，可以被其他人的过滤器访问。注释的一个应用是支持有节制的新闻组。
Tapestry is an experimental mail system developed at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. The motivation for Tapestry comes from the increasing use of electronic mail, which is resulting in users being inundated by a huge stream of incoming documents [2, 7, 12]. One way to handle large volumes of mail is to provide mailing lists, enabling users to subscribe only to those lists of interest to them. However, as illustrated in Figure 1, the set of documents of interest to a particular user rarely map neatly to existing lists. A better solution is for a user to specify afi'lter that scans all lists, selecting interesting documents no matter what list they are in. Several mail systems support filtering based on a document's contents [3, 5, 6, 8]. A basic tenet of the Tapestry work is that more effective filtering can be done by involving humans in the filtering process. In addition to content-based filtering, the Tapestry system was designed and built to support coUaborativefi'ltering. Collaborative filtering simply means that people collaborate to help one another perform filtering by recording their reactions to documents they read. Such reactions may be that a document was particularly interesting (or particularly uninteresting). These reactions, more generally called annotations, can be accessed by others' filters. One application of annotations is in support of moderated newsgroups.
