NEPOMUK

A European Union-backed project called NEPOMUK aims at empowering individual knowledge workers to better exploit their personal information space and to maintain fruitful communication and exchange within social networks across organizational boundaries.

NEPOMUK brings together researchers, industrial software developers, and representative industrial users, to develop a com- prehensive solution for extending the personal desktop into a collaboration environment which supports both the personal in- formation management and the sharing and exchange across so- cial and organizational relations. This solution is called the Social Semantic Desktop.
