1. A method, comprising:
analyzing file categorization data associated with a plurality of documents spanning a file storage system and another file storage system, including detecting both a user document entry changing a document in the file storage system and knowledge relevant to the user document entry in the other file storage system are categorized into a category;
determining that the knowledge is relevant to the user document entry based on the analysis;
searching one or more file storage systems extracting knowledge related to the document change with respect to one or more file categories, one or more attributes, one or more business contexts, or a combination thereof wherein the searching includes:
identifying clusters of similar files;
defining one or more recognition samples that include one or more key characteristics for a specific portion or aspect of one or more corresponding files in the clusters, wherein the recognition samples contain instructions on how to extract the characteristics, and wherein the recognition samples are informationally smaller than, and less variable than the corresponding files;
comparing a set of characteristics from the characteristics for each file to one or more sets of characteristics of one or more other files; and
forming one or more category clusters based on the comparing; and
presenting a content of the knowledge to a user by:
determining the context of the document based on a content of the document;
prioritizing a plurality of tags matching the document change with respect to at least one of: the one or more file categories, the one or more attributes, and the one or more business contexts to select one or more prioritized tags; and
displaying the one or more prioritized tags,
wherein each of the plurality of tags is associated with one or more files in the one or more file storage systems.
