Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based Management of Unified Knowledge
NEPOMUK brings together researchers, industrial software developers, and representative industrial users, to develop a comprehensive solution for extending the personal desktop into a collaboration environment which supports both the personal information management and the sharing and exchange across social and organizational relations.
SKOS is an area of work developing specifications and standards to support the use of knowledge organisation systems (KOS) such as thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading systems and taxonomies within the framework of the Semantic Web.
The Nepomuk project provides a standardized, conceptual framework for Semantic Desktops.Gnowsis can be used in research projects or by interested individuals to benefit from Semantic Web technologies.
On a modern personal computer there are thousands of documents, emails, photos and music songs stored. Their number increases as we all download new files, send and receive emails, meet people. While we do all this, we use a multitude of different applications for our different goals. This is good, but in the future, it will be better.
Imagine that you can browse your files, friends, and photos like they were in a tiny little World Wide Web, using browsers and search engines. You can bookmark everything, link everything and enjoy surfing your data.
