Announcement: Gnowsis Semantic Desktop 0.9.2 released

The DFKI Knowledge Management lab is proud to release Gnowsis version 0.9.2

Gnowsis is a tool for realising a Semantic Desktop – a desktop where all your data is inter-linked and related. Gnowsis gives you a tool for structuring your data as well as your thoughts! This release is part of the Nepomuk project, providing a prototype implementation of some core services.

To see what gnowsis looks like, watch the videos that Dominik Heim made:
