Germany is funding the major project THESEUS to work on the internet of the future, many things are Semantic Web and Web 3.0.

I just stumbled upon a video about the TEXT use case, a sub-part of the project.

watch:

Part of the video is also Stefan Wess, CEO of Empolis, with whom we cooperate in Eclipse SMILA (smila is the semantic indexing part of Theseus where aperture is used, thats how I stumbled to the video).

As expected: NEPOMUK got slashdotted

When the Technology Review Article appeared today morning, the pipes were already heating up and it was dugg and twined. We already bet that we will be slashdotted and Gunnar wrote a small reminder that "nepomuk may kill MacOs" on the download page.

and, this minute Michael Sintek noted that we were slashdotted:
https://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08%2F12%2F16%2F1546219&from=rss

"Technology Review has a story looking at Nepomuk — the semantic tool that is bundled with the latest version of KDE. It seems that some Semantic Web researchers believe the tool will prove a breakthrough for semantic technology. By encouraging people to add semantic meta-data to the information stored on their machines they hope it could succeed where other semantic tools have failed."

Horray, the first slashdotting that I experience on something where I contributed. May more come.

Technology Review:

Technology Review wrote a short article about NEPOMUK:

Semantic Sense for the Desktop A project brings Semantic Web technology to personal documents.

"This might be the semantic desktop that actually survives," says Nova Spivack, CEO and founder of Radar Networks, the company behind Twine, a semantic bookmarking and social-networking service. "There's a lot of potential to build on what they've done."

The idea of a semantic desktop is not new. The Open Source Applications Foundation and SRI, two nonprofit organizations, have both worked on similar projects. But previous efforts have suffered from the difficulty of generating good semantic information: for semantic software to be useful, semantic information needs to be generated and tagged to files and documents. But without useful applications in the first place, it is hard to persuade users to generate and tag this data themselves.

Nepomuk is distinguished by a more practical vision, says Ansgar Bernardi, deputy head of knowledge management research at DFKI. The software adds a lot of semantic information automatically and encourages users to add more by making annotated data more useful. It also provides an easy way to share tagged information with others.

Inkel asked for downloads

inkel asked for downloads: https://www.flickr.com/photos/leobard/3112241605/

Hey inkel, it is available for download, but the java version is a bit "prototypcial"
checkout

dev.nepomuk.semanticdesktop.org/

The KDE version is much more stabler (less features than the java version, higher quality guis)

nepomuk.kde.org

I would recommend going for the KDE version now,
but I am in the process of doing a startup to make a product for windows and mac.

Amazing Excel 3D graphics engine

wow. I failed to resize a bloody 3D diagram in excel, and googling for "excel 3d line axis length" added another distraction from my PhD,
behold the power of Excel's 3d gaming engine.

https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3563/microsoft_excel_revolutionary_3d_.php?print=1

"Integration of computer games and spreadsheets has tightened during the evolution of computer technology.

At an early stage this integration among the the games and spreadsheets was comical, e.g. they were installed on the same hard disk, or the purchased games were listed in an Excel sheet. Later the integration has tightened, as some games introduced a built-in spreadsheet (accessible by the "boss key" feature) - or Excel contained some built-in 3D games as Easter Eggs.

Now we have arrived at the next step of this integration, as Excel's cutting-edge 3D functionality is not hidden in Easter Eggs anymore but can be accessible publicly and easily. Excel has grown up and started its conquest as a revolutionary 3D game engine."
