Semantic Web Dog Food

Presented at: 6th International and 2nd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2007+ASWC2007)

by Knud Möller

Since Vannevar Bush's vision of the Memex, the idea of a knowledge working environment with interlinked data has been around. Recently, with a significant increase in computing power and the advent of the Semantic Web, these ideas have surfaced again, now under the term "Semantic Desktop". Many attempts to build such a Semantic Desktop try to build a complete system from scratch. In this demo, we want to show that it is also possible to get a long way with existing OS technology, which will simply be harnessed in the form of a number of small, lightweight tools. Instead of building an extensive and feature-rich system from scratch, we harness the power of modern, metadata-enabled file systems and search indices to create a prototypical system with minimal effort.

Light-Weight Semantic Desktop Applications was presented at this event.
