Linux distributor Mandriva has announced that it will participate in the NEPOMUK Social Semantic Desktop project sponsored by the European Union. The goal of the project is to apply semantic web concepts on local desktops so that users can annotate and link arbitrary information across different media types, file formats, and applications, allowing them to transform ideas into semantic information. The implementation will involve integrating wiki technology with an annotation mechanism based on Resource Description Framework (RDF). The project has a total budget of 17 million euros, of which 1.8 million euros will go do Mandriva's Edge-IT subsidiary. As a key provider of Linux desktop distributions, Mandriva is in a good position to drive the adoption of the semantic web in mainstream productivity applications.
