Re: Nepomuk use case
by Lee on Sunday 10/Feb/2008, @13:16

There's a command line tool, sopranocmd, which you can query for anything related to a particular file. Tools like star (a modern tar replacement) have long-since supported file attributes. Patching star (or KDE's ark) to support asking Nepomuk/soprano for this data before archiving shouldn't be too hard at all. Worst case scenario, you can manually run the query, save it along with your files, and import it on a new machine. But there's really no excuse for archivers not supporting this stuff as standard. File attributes have been around for AGES in the unix world, and star has no issue with it. They also work fine on other platforms like BeOS, Mac OS, etc.
