Nepomuk Repositories

The Nepomuk development is split across many different repositories across KDE. The page attempts to list out most of the known Nepomuk code, and its development location. The list has been split according to importance.

Main Repositories

These are the official repositories which the core Nepomuk team focuses on.

NepomukCore

NepomukCore, which is the main repository for Nepomuk development, was released with KDE 4.9. It is a combination of both the Nepomuk libraries present in kdelibs, and certain run time components present in kde-runtime.

All Nepomuk enabled applications must depend on NepomukCore. It utilizes the Nepomuk2 namespace.

NepomukWidgets

NepomukWidget, is the repository which contains all the widgets which applications use. It will be released with KDE 4.10. Before this the widgets were present in kdelibs/nepomuk.

KIO slaves

Nepomuk currently consists of 3 kio-slaves - nepomuk, nepomuksearch, and timeline. Out of these 3, nepomuksearch and timeline are the most visible. The nepomuk kioslave is an internal kioslave which redirects to the physical location or to the nepomuksearch kioslave. For a more in depth discussion of their working, please read this.

Repository: kde-runtime/nepomuk/kioslaves

KCM

Nepomuk consists of 2 main user visible components. The Nepomuk KCM and the controller, which is uses to pause/resume indexing. The plan is to eventually move these out of kde-runtime, but that will probably only happen with KDE Frameworks 5.

Repository: kde-runtime/nepomuk/kcm

Nepomuk Shell

Nepomuk consists of a development tool called 'nepomukshell' which can be used to browse the Nepomuk database, and to run SPARQL queries. It has served as a simple starting ground for people wishing to contribute to Nepomuk.

Dependencies

Soprano

Soprano provides a Qt based wrapper over virtuoso, and additional serializing and parsing features which are used to load the ontologies. It follows an independent release schedule.

  • Repository: kde:soprano
  • Category: Core
  • Activity: As per Nepomuk's requirements

Strigi

From KDE SC 4.10, Strigi is no longer used in Nepomuk. We have our own file indexer which is present in nepomuk-core.

Other Repositories

Nepomuk-WebMiner

The Nepomuk WebMiner is an independent project that was started by Jörg Ehrichs. It provides rich features for extracting additional information from the web as well as from the files.

Tag Manager

A fairly random project that was done in less than a day. Its purpose was to provide a user visible way to rename, delete and merge tags. It is currently not shipped by any distributions, and should ideally be cleanup up and properly released. For more information read this.

TV Namer

It fetches information from http://thetvdb.com. For more information, please read the original blogs posts -

Music

This provides a music kio slave which allows one to browse through the music indexed by Nepomuk. For more information please read the original blog post

Web Extractor

The Nepomuk web-extractor was originally a 2010 GSOC Project (Add link). The project was completed, but the architecture is extremely complicated. Additionally, most of the user visible parts were missing. It requires a complete rewrite.
