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:
“I think there are innumerable gods. What we on earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces operating through human consciousness control events.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
