This article describes the Semantic Desktop. We give insights into the core services that aim to improve personal knowledge management on the desktop. We describe these core components of our Semantic Desktop system and give evaluation results. Results of a long-term study reveal effects of using the Semantic Desktop on personal knowledge work.Zusammenfassung. Der Semantic Desktop ist ein Ansatz um persönliches Wissensmanagement zu unterstützen. In diesem Artikel werden der Semantic Desktop und seine Dienste vorgestellt. Ergebnisse einer Langzeitstudie zeigen, dass einfache semantische Relationen bereits großen Nutzen für das persön-liche Wissensmanagement bringen.

“…Gnowsis [Sa05], Nepomuk 7 ). Interestingly the results of this have often shown that users make more use of their own explicit ontologies, although the larger automatic data is clearly of value [SH08]. This underlines the need to ensure that underlying technologies are set within suitable user interaction, which in this case may be as simple as marking the provenance of data and selectively presenting it so that users are not swamped.…”

Esta es la versión de autor del artículo publicado en: This is an author produced version of a paper published in: AbstractThis paper takes as its premise that the web is a place of action, not just information, and that the purpose of global data is to serve human needs. The paper presents several component technologies, which together work towards a vision where many small micro-applications can be threaded together using automated assistance to enable a unified and rich interaction. These technologies include data detector technology to enable any text to become a start point of semantic interaction; annotations for web-based services so that they can link data to potential actions; spreading activation over personal ontologies, to allow modelling of context; algorithms for automatically inferring 'typing' of web-form input data based on previous user inputs; and early work on inferring task structures from action traces. Some of these have already been integrated within an experimental web-based (extended) bookmarking tool, Snip!t, and a prototype desktop application On Time, and the paper discusses how the components could be more fully, yet more openly, linked in terms of both architecture and interaction. As well as contributing to the goal of an action and activity-focused web, the work also exposes a number of broader issues, theoretical, practical, social and economic, for the Semantic Web.

“…This has two main benefits: first, it makes it possible to interrelate objects from different sources, which otherwise form disjunct structures in one's personal information space [3]; and second, it extends the possibilities provided by file systems with respect to search and retrieval [15]. All three classes of applications, as described before, could benefit from such an integration: user-driven file structures could be extended by more powerful and non-hierarchical annotation mechanisms, like tagging and typed relationships.…”

The Sile Model — A Semantic File System Infrastructure for the Desktop

Abstract. With the increasing storage capacity of personal computing devices, the problems of information overload and information fragmentation become apparent on users' desktops. For the Web, semantic technologies aim at solving this problem by adding a machine-interpretable information layer on top of existing resources, and it has been shown that the application of these technologies to desktop environments is helpful for end users. Certain characteristics of the Semantic Web architecture that are commonly accepted in the Web context, however, are not desirable for desktops; e.g., incomplete information, broken links, or disruption of content and annotations. To overcome these limitations, we propose the sile model, an intermediate data model that combines attributes of the Semantic Web and file systems. This model is intended to be the conceptual foundation of the Semantic Desktop, and to serve as underlying infrastructure on which applications and further services, e.g., virtual file systems, can be built. In this paper, we present the sile model, discuss Semantic Web vocabularies that can be used in the context of this model to annotate desktop data, and analyze the performance of typical operations on a virtual file system implementation that is based on this model.
