With the increasing number of computers per user, it has become common for most users to deal with growing numbers of electronic documents. Those documents are usually stored in hierarchic file systems, requiring them to be classified into the hierarchy, a difficult task. Such organization schemes do not provide adequate support for the efficient and effortless retrieval of documents at a later time, since their position in the hierarchy is one of the only clues to a document's whereabouts. However, humans are natural-born storytellers, and stories help relate and remember important pieces of information. Hence, the usage of narratives where a user "tells a story" about the document will be a valuable tool towards simplifying the retrieval task.To find out if there are common patterns in stories about documents, we performed a study where 60 such stories were collected and analyzed. We identified the most common story elements (time, storage and purpose) and how they are likely to relate in typical stories. This preliminary study suggests that it is possible to infer archetypical stories. Further, we present a set of guidelines for the design of narrative-based document retrieval interfaces.
