Abstract
In many domains, there are tasks for which no strict process can be prescribed, but which require the expertise of case managers who work with information from a broad set of sources. To support case managers’ highly individual work, we present an approach that enables them to structure their work along a flexible agenda and a diverse collection of artifacts. We propose a cloud-based architecture for annotating artifacts with document- and content-level metadata to support case managers’ cognitive effort of organizing, relating and evaluating the multitude of artifacts involved in each case, and describe a tool that provides a consolidated environment for working with artifacts from heterogeneous sources.
