Open Source Semantic Desktop Is Coming. PC users have volumes of information saved on their computers, most of it disconnected and disparate save for a basic directory system. The answer to connecting all the information into a local semantic Web of information is closer than you might think. Thanks to the open source NEPOMUK (Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based Management of Unified Knowledge) effort, the Semantic Desktop isn't a dream; it's an emerging reality and will be here with the upcoming release of KDE 4 for the Linux desktop. "NEPOMUK is a project attempting to address what we see as a major missing component of the open source environment -- what we call 'semantic capabilities,' which you can think of as the ability to define and take advantage of the relationships between different items and types of data throughout the desktop and beyond," Stéphane Laurière, Semantic Web activities coordinator at Linux distribution Mandriva, told internetnews.com.
Everything Search Engine. Semantic desktop. In computer science, the Semantic Desktop is a collective term for ideas related to changing a computer's user interface and data handling capabilities so that data is more easily shared between different applications or tasks and so that data that once could not be automatically processed by a computer could be. It also encompasses some ideas about being able to automatically share information between different people.
This concept is very much related to the Semantic Web but is distinct insofar as its main concern is the personal use of information. General description[edit] The vision of the semantic desktop can be considered as a response to the perceived problems of existing user interfaces. Secondly there is the problem of relating different files with each other. Related to this a user will often access a lot of data from the Internet which is segregated from the data stored locally on the computer, being accessed through a browser or other programs. Standardization effort[edit]
