Dear Beraru
I quote the copy of the relevant website and suggest you to go thru the
same for an answer:
Nepomuk - The Social Semantic Desktop
Information Society Technologies
Project Objectives
Human knowledge work mainly consists of the reception, interpretation
and structuring of information, the explicit articulation of thoughts in
suitable representations (like texts and pictures), and the sharing,
exchange and discussion of such resources with other people. The way
people proceed in this is heavily influenced by the tools they use: The
personal workspace - and the personal computer in particular - support
and reflect the individual ways of information processing, thought
articulation, and knowledge sharing across social and organizational
networks.
NEPOMUK
NEPOMUK's Goal
NEPOMUK intends to realize and deploy a comprehensive solution -
methods, data structures, and a set of tools - for extending the
personal computer into a collaborative environment, which improves the
state of art in online collaboration and personal data management and
augments the intellect of people by providing and organizing information
created by single or group efforts.
Social Semantic Desktop
This solution is called the Social Semantic Desktop. This enhanced
personal workspace (the Desktop) will be Semantic since it will give
information a well defined meaning, making it processable by the
computer. It will be Social since it will support the interconnection
and exchange with other desktops and their users.
Desktop Aspect
To build the Semantic Desktop, NEPOMUK's objectives are to develop the
methods, data structures and services necessary
* to annotate and link arbitrary information on the local desktop, across
different media types, file formats, and applications. Semantic web data
structures and techniques will be applied and adapted to achieve this goal.
* to articulate and visualize the user's ideas and transform them into
semantic information. We will extend easy-to-use wiki technology and integrate
it with annotation mechanisms.
* to integrate content creation and processing with the users' way of
structuring their work. Key approach will be the integration of agile process
modelling concepts with the information generation and structuring.
Social Aspect
To cope with the interconnection and exchange with other desk- tops and
their users, NEPOMUK's objectives are to develop
* tools for social relation building and knowledge exchange which support
knowledge sharing within social communities. These tools will provide
semantically rich recommendations, which allow members of a community to not
only exchange documents and other isolated information chunks, but all relevant
information about their context and the participating community as well.
* techniques for distributed search and storage of information, based on
scalable extensions of the distributed hash table technology and p-grid
infrastructures, which allow efficient search over distributed information
resources and provide a shared knowledge pool within a community.
Community Uptake
The idea of the Social Semantic Desktop will reach its full potential
only if it is adopted and applied by a large and active community of
people. The build-up of this community is a central objective of the
project which will be pursued right from the beginning. In detail, our
objectives towards sufficient community uptake are
* to realize the Social Semantic Desktop as an open framework architecture
with clearly defined interfaces which are published and possibly submitted for
standardization; this will allow external adopters to integrate their
proprietary desktop tools into the comprehensive framework and offers ways for
commercial support and extension activities;
* to reach early dissemination of project results and to interact with the
open-source developer community; this will allow for the gathering and
inclusion of feedback and development contributions form interested third
parties; and finally
* to prove the benefits of the Social Semantic Desktop in representative
application areas which will stipulate the interest of possible industrial
users and service providers in uptaking the project results.
Main Results
Main visible results are:
* the architecture and implemented middleware of the Social Semantic
Desktop, published as open-source software and where relevant submitted to
semantic web standardization processes
* an active scientific and user community that adopts the results of
NEPOMUK and continues to extend them to their needs,
* a set of reference solutions in use at SAP, PRC, or Institut Pasteur, and
a body of documented experience and methodological know-how gained in their
application domains.
Core development results will be publicly available during the project via a
webbased collaboration platform. The final architecture and toolset, together
with representative application examples, will be delivered both online and as
a public showcase on CD-ROM.

I am not a software geek and hence I have quoted from the website.
