Nepomuk Brings Semantic Web To the Desktop, Instead

An anonymous reader writes "Technology Review has a story looking at Nepomuk — the semantic tool that is bundled with the latest version of KDE. It seems that some Semantic Web researchers believe the tool will prove a breakthrough for semantic technology. By encouraging people to add semantic meta-data to the information stored on their machines they hope it could succeed where other semantic tools have failed."

    I've tried out Nepomuk and, while I have to say that it's promising, it's got miles to go before it's even near ready.

    Unfortunately the same can also be said of KDE 4 in general...
