Information overload and fragmentation problems result from the huge volume of data available in digital formats. This has led to increasing interest in personal information management research. However, current efforts have not fully clarified the thinking in this area due to the lack of theoretical foundations. In this paper, we present a formal framework for personal information management through a personal digital library perspective based upon the 5S approach. This framework includes a formal definition of the components and functionalities for a minimal personal digital library. We also present the primary testing results of our initial implementation of receptor module and behavioral information relevance. Challenges expected in planned future efforts are discussed too, with suggestions for possible solutions. We believe this is one of the first efforts to provide a theoretical foundation for personal information management. Our results and planned work show promise for further doctoral research.
