Welcome to Gnowsis 0.9.1pre1!

Gnowsis is a Semantic Desktop environment published by DFKI's Knowledge Management Lab.

Gnowsis 0.9 is a brand new release of Gnowsis. The core idea of Gnowsis remains but most of what goes on underneath the interface has been re-engineered. In the new Gnowsis we have thought longer and harder about our use of ontologies, our use of desktop applications as RDF datasources, and the separation of a user's data and his mental model of the same. The result is a new cleaner, faster and happier Gnowsis!
