Abstract: Re-use is a key aspect of today's Learning Resource creation. Authors often re-use objects, which they had originally created. Additionally organization of documents has become a complex task and users tend to have more and more problems to manage documents stored on their local computers. With our approach we combine these two aspects by supporting users in their Personal Information Management with information, emerging from re-use processes. We propose a framework capable of capture, management and utilization of this so called lifecycle information and present our implementation for PowerPoint presentations. A first evaluation shows promising results and demonstrates the feasibility and validity of our approach.
