Research and Outlook on the Semantic Desktop

This paper provides an overview of a new technology: Semantic Desktop. Beginning with the history of the semantic desktop, this paper gives a definition and architecture of it. Then, the important parts of the semantic desktop are introduced. Existing applications and research results are listed and their role as building blocks of the future Semantic Desktop described. Based on the analysis of existing systems this paper proposes two software architecture paradigms, one for the Semantic Desktop at large and another for applications running on a Semantic Desktop. Moreover, the relevant tools are classified and listed as a table. At last, based on the current events and projects, this paper gives an outlook on the next steps.
