Hi Anatoly, Glad to hear about your plans. Tracker was build with use cases like those in mind.

Tracker as it is solves most of your storage problems. It is a shared storage accessible from any application (in the user session) and the information is represented as a graph. You can link resources coming from different sources and so on. Maybe you need to tune the ontologies, but that shouldn't be dramatic. > Looking forward to hearing your opinion, > Tracker was created as backend for applications like you were describing, but for multiple reasons we never wrote the actual "semantic apps". It is great if you can use it and show the potential of linking information. We are glad to help and receive feedback. Do not hesitate on report bugs and discuss in this mailing list or in the IRC channel. Best regards, Ivan
