Operating Systems and Desktops
KDE Plasma Workspaces require Strigi as core component of the new semantic desktop technologies. Strigi and NEPOMUK are working together to help create a semantic desktop search. NEPOMUK will allow the user to add metadata, which Strigi will be able to index for a more precise search. Developers are also considering adding Sonnet support to Strigi to allow users to search for documents written in a specific language.
GNOME has an optional applet to search for files using Strigi, named Deskbar. Deskbar is included in the GNOME desktop of Ubuntu 8.10, for example.

Famous quotes containing the words operating and/or systems:
“Go on then in doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword; shew that reformation is more practicable by operating on the mind than on the body of man.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“We have done scant justice to the reasonableness of cannibalism. There are in fact so many and such excellent motives possible to it that mankind has never been able to fit all of them into one universal scheme, and has accordingly contrived various diverse and contradictory systems the better to display its virtues.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
