Title: Innovations of James P. Dourish

Introduction

James P. Dourish is a notable inventor based in San Francisco, CA, with a remarkable portfolio of 15 patents. His work primarily focuses on enhancing document management systems, making significant contributions to the field of information technology.

Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is a system for tagging related files in a document management system. This innovative approach organizes, stores, and retrieves documents based on properties attached to them. The system utilizes a translator to communicate with applications that function based on hierarchical path names. A tag is inserted into the path of a document to identify it and represent a dynamic collection. This tagging mechanism allows the document management system to identify and locate all related documents, even if the application is unaware of their actual storage locations.

Another significant patent by Dourish is the active annotation mechanism for document management systems. This mechanism detects various types of annotations on documents, including in-line and out-of-band annotations. It determines whether these annotations require further action or are merely comments. When an annotation necessitates action, the system carries out the required activity, enhancing the functionality of document management systems.
