Cognitive approach to the presentation of the file system directory structure and how it is implemented

Discusses the approach to displaying the file system structure as a cognitive network. File system Folders represent as keywords (attributes) associated with each other. Each folder in the file path is associated with this file. By abolishing strict adherence to folder names in the file path. You can access a file from different directories without using shortcuts. You can access the file on a path that is not complete. Provides a way to implement this approach based on the existing hierarchical directory structure. In the General case, actual in this moment filesystem (NTFS, ext4) is not hierarchical. Symbolic and hard links to make the structure of this filesystem as network with cyclic paths. Describes the mechanics of working with files in the cognitive file browser prototype. Indicates trends in the user interface of file browsers. A development forecast is offered in the custom view of the file Explorer. An alternative approach suggests to use the structure of the file system. This approach requires advanced features file browser of the operating system. This browser will store the attributes (keywords) of files in the database or the registry. The experience of implementing this approach is available in some browsers developed for Android.
