Overview and Outlook on the Semantic Desktop

چکیده
In this paper we will give an overview of the Semantic Desktop paradigm, beginning with the history of the term, a definition, current work and its relevance to knowledge management of the future. Existing applications and research results are listed and their role as building blocks of the future Semantic Desktop described. Based on the analysis of existing systems we propose two software architecture paradigms, one for the Semantic Desktop at large and another for applications running on a Semantic Desktop. A view on the context aspect of the Semantic Desktop and the Knowledge Management aspect is given. Based on the current events and projects, we give an outlook on the next steps.

متن کاملGnowsis Adapter Framework: Treating Structured Data Sources as Virtual RDF Graphs
The integration of heterogenous data sources is a crucial step for the upcoming semantic web – if existing information is not integrated, where will the data come from that the semantic web builds on? In this paper we present the gnowsis adapter framework, an implementation of an RDF graph system that can be used to integrate structured data sources, together with a set of already implemented a...
متن کاملAn Overview of Information Management and Knowledge Work Studies: Lessons for the Semantic Desktop
Several recent initiatives aim to provide a Memex-inspired semantic desktop that would integrate with or replace our current physical and electronic desktop. For these semantic desktop initiatives to succeed, we need to consider how people organise their work and use their desktop. If we do not consider this existing work, the semantic desktop might very well suffer from the low adoption rate t...

متن کاملThe Social Semantic Desktop: A New Paradigm Towards Deploying the Semantic Web on the Desktop
This chapter introduces the general vision of the Social Semantic Desktop (SSD) and details it in the context of the NEPOMUK project. It outlines the typical SSD requirements and functionalities that were identified from real world scenarios. In addition, it provides the design of the standard SSD architecture together with the ontology pyramid developed to support it. Finally, the chapter give...
