Forget about Temor, Welcome Nepomuk
by Pat on Saturday 19/Aug/2006, @17:18

The european union is funding a €17 million project to build a "Temor killer" and Mandriva is one of the companies working at it. All the project will be released as open source:
"the Social Semantic Desktop[...] is a new computing paradigm that provides an advanced way to create, automate and structure information. The Social Semantic Desktop brings three major changes: the availability of contextual information on users' desktops, the shift from hierarchical to semantic storage of information, and advanced ways of assisting users in their day-to-day usage of computers. One common way to define the Social Semantic Desktop is to bill it as the technologies that allow computers to gather information in the same manner as the human brain does."

Here is Mandriva press release about it:

here is the project page:

Nepomuk is real, mandriva is paying full-time developers to work on this for kde4. So hope is not dead for contextual search engine for KDE4 :)
