The knowledge management lab at DFKI, Kaiserslautern is proud to release the Gnowsis Beta 0.9 Technological Preview today! 

Gnowsis is a tool for realising the Semantic Desktop - a desktop where all your data is tied 


Gnowsis 0.9 is a brand new release of Gnowsis. The core idea of Gnowsis remains but most of what goes on underneath the interface has been re-engineered. In the new Gnowsis we have thought longer and harder about our use of ontologies, our use of desktop applications as RDF datasources, and the separation of a user's data and his mental model of the same. The result is a new cleaner, faster and happier Gnowsis!

Some of the new features of Gnowsis 0.9 include: 

* Integration with [http://aperture.sf.net Aperture] for easy integration of the data in the applications you already use on your desktop! 
* A new approach to personal information management. We call it your [http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~sauermann/2006/01-pimo-report/pimOntologyLanguageReport.html PIMO].
* Integration with [http://kaukoluwiki.opendfki.de Kaukolu Wiki].
* Quick and easy full-text searching of all your data using Lucene.
