personal weblog of Leo Sauermann
See you at CeBit 9.-12.3. Halle 009, Stand B45
This year we present current DFKI projects, I am showing these:
If you like Semantic Web, hop by and walk up to me and ask for a hot demo of the gnowsis beta. It is not finished yet, but I have the latest code on my laptop and am happy to give you an exclusive back-room demo, complete with coffee and candy.
So, see you at CeBit 2006
Although I work much, I also go to after work church.
Here is their lovely website, with a pic of me and Daniel drinking wine, Ingrid was also there.
The knowledge management lab at DFKI, Kaiserslautern releases the Gnowsis Beta 0.9 Technological Preview today!
Gnowsis is a tool for realising the 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!
Gnowsis 0.9 is a brand new release of Gnowsis. The Beta 0.9 Technological Preview is a first release for other developers to look at the technolocigal changes. For End-Users, this release does not offer much. 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!
Gnowsis 0.9 runs on Windows, Linux and Macosx. Download zip, or MacOSX image here: downloadlink.
Heute, Sonntag 5.März 2006 waren Ingrid und ich im Pfälzer Wald snowboarden. Das Wetter war zu gut fürs Fitnesscenter.
Dieses mal waren wir snow-towing in Kaiserslautern machen. Samstag, 4.3.2006 auf dem Messeparkplatz in Kaiserslautern.
Viel Platz dort und genug Schnee zum Snow-towing.

video gibts auch:
the first screenshot of gnowsis in combination with the semantic wiki.
This screenshot shows how kaukoluwiki and the gnowsis-beta work together.
A wiki-page just created using the JSP-wiki clone kaukoluwiki shows up in the gnowsis swing gui and vice versa.
The trick behind: both graphical user interfaces access the same data, stored using the PIMO-ontology and available in a sesame2 store.
semantic web rocks, semantic desktop rolls!
I re-launched my website using rdf-homepage, our cuper-cool rdf hack of DFKI to generate homepages using RDF and php.
See yourself the beauty of my new website, that is generated from about 10 different rdf files, including:
to make this magic work yourself, checkout our big-hack at
rdfhomepage.
So here it is official . Mandrive Linux, with Cognium System as Partner has joined the Nepomuk Social Semantic Desktop project.
This project will rock the world, changing the way people interact with computers and socialise.
Basically, this is the thing we have been working on for years and I am happy to also be part of this project.

The landscape of open source speech synthesizers is growing richer. The
German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), partner in
the Network of Excellence HUMAINE on emotion-oriented computing, has
decided to release its emotional text-to-speech synthesis system MARY as
open source.
The system can be downloaded from http://mary.dfki.de
MARY is a multi-lingual (German, English, Tibetan) and multi-platform
(Windows, Linux, MacOs X and Solaris) speech synthesis system. It comes
with an easy-to-use installer — no technical expertise should be
required for installation.
What i liked best is the emotional speaking plugin to play around. Brings up a feeling of c64 speech synthesis but with emotional blendings, great thing to automatically generate the swearword of the day or to motivate yourself by letting mary say how wonderful your work is, repeating for hours.
