@inproceedings{groza2007nepomuk, abstract = {This paper introduces the NEPOMUK project which aims to create a standard and reference implementation for the Social Semantic Desktop. We outline the requirements and functionalities that were identified for a useful Semantic Desktop system and present an architecture that fulfills these requirements which was acquired by incremental refinement of the architecture of existing Semantic Desktop prototypes. The NEPOMUK project is primarily motivated by three real-life industrial use-cases, we briefly outline these and the processes used to extract required functionalities from the people working in these areas today, and we present a selection of typical tasks where the Semantic Desktop could be of benefit.}, author = {Groza, Tudor and Handschuh, Siegfried and Moeller, Knud and Grimnes, Gunnar and Sauermann, Leo and Minack, Enrico and Mesnage, Cedric and Jazayeri, Mehdi and Reif, Gerald and Gudjónsdóttir, Rosa}, booktitle = {Proceedings of I-Semantics' 07}, editor = {Pellegrini, Tassilo and Schaffert, Sebastian}, interhash = {b56d7a56970270747d16b89585f1370d}, intrahash = {6a466091e1478277aeeffe1e094e48b1}, issn = {0948-6968}, month = sep, pages = {201--211}, publisher = {JUCS}, title = {The NEPOMUK Project - On the way to the Social Semantic Desktop}, url = {http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~sauermann/papers/groza+2007a.pdf}, year = 2007 } @mastersthesis{Geldart2005, abstract = {This dissertation describes the design and development of the Frege shared information system. This system builds upon the work of semantic desktop systems such as Gnowsis and Haystack, exploring the ways that ontological information may be integrated into an existing desktop environment. The major contribution of this work is the introduction of the idea of ‘reflections’ between information models as a formal basis for integrating a shared information system with existing applications. The success of this work is intended to be judged by its ease of use for developers, the completeness of the model reflection and its efficiency. According to these criteria the design implemented may be judged a partial success, achieving an easy-to-use reflection which is practically too slow to use in general purpose systems. The work does, however, suggest means to improve this in future systems in order to bring about a fully-integrated, evolutionary semantic desktop system.}, author = {Geldart, Joe}, interhash = {077ff0abe9e848c4e850c887ea71e453}, intrahash = {5668aeea53c496d92b8d73c1a16ede2d}, month = {April}, school = {Department of Computer Science, University of Durham}, title = {RDF without Revolution An Analysis and Test of RDF and Ontology }, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, url = {http://www.dur.ac.uk/j.r.c.geldart/projects/frege/docs/report.pdf}, year = 2005 }
