Abstract
Simple form of annotations, such as tagging, are proven to be helpful to end users in organising and managing large amount of resources (e.g., photos, documents). In this paper, we take a first step in applying annotation to forms to explore potential benefits of helping people with little or no technical background to automate the form-based processes. An analysis of real-world forms was conducted to design algorithms for tag recommendations and our initial evaluation suggests that useful tag recommendation can be generated based on the contents and the metadata of the forms. We also briefly present EzyForms, a framework for supporting form-based processes. The architecture supports an end-to-end lifecycle of forms, starting from its creation, annotation, and ultimately to its execution in a process.
