Envisioning the Open Semantic Desktop of the Future
====================================================
Semantic technologies are bringing a disruptive innovation to the
desktop: they empower the users to organize their work entirely around
the high-level concept of activities, giving birth to task oriented
desktops which are progressively reframing the desktop metaphor. The
semantic desktop vision is possibly one of the most important
breakthrough since the emergence of personal computing paradigm in the
early eighties. It paves the way for radically new ways in taming
information overload and in dealing with knowledge at the personal or at
the enterprise levels. This conference will present the latest
advancements of major open projects in this field and their future.
