"PC users have volumes of information saved on their computers, most of it disconnected and disparate save for a basic directory system. The answer to connecting all the information into a local semantic Web of information is closer than you might think. Thanks to the open source NEPOMUK (Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based Management of Unified Knowledge) effort, the Semantic Desktop isn't a dream; it's an emerging reality and will be here with the upcoming release of KDE 4 for the Linux desktop."

...towards a semantic web, if I understand the article correctly. Apparently it's supported by the European Union as well.
What I find especially interesting is that the NEPOMUK specs, as truly open specs, are being implemented for GNOME and Windows. It's nice to think that, if this turns out half way as good as it sounds, nobody will have to be left out.
