Curious about a strange package name with an interesting definition prompted a bit of investigation: 20:48 zephyr:~> rpm -qa | grep ontologies shared-desktop-ontologies-0.3-1.6.noarch shared-desktop-ontologies-devel-0.3-1.6.noarch 20:49 zephyr:~> rpm -qi shared-desktop-ontologies Name : shared-desktop-ontologies Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 0.3 Vendor: openSUSE Release : 1.6 Build Date: Mon 05 Jul 2010 05:10:38 PM CDT <snip> Summary : Shared Desktop Ontologies Description : Open Semantic Collaboration Architecture Foundation (OSCAF) ontologies and reference code development. This project is used by maintainers from open source projects to maintain standards for the interoperability of desktop and web applications. A bit of further looking disclosed: "Ontologies necessary for the Nepomuk semantic desktop" I'm all for having a rich and diverse vocabulary, but reaching so far back into the Greek vernacular... I just have to ask, "What were they thinking...?" Think about it - "Open Semantic Collaboration Architecture Foundation (OSCAF) ontologies and reference code development." -- That's a mouthful. What happened to simplicity? I have enough trouble remembering: 'at', 'grep', 'diff', 'sed', 'awk' and 'patch', much less "Open Semantic Collaboration Architecture Foundation (OSCAF) ontologies and reference code development." I take my hat off to the originator. That is one bit of creative linguistics -- second to none ;p -- David C.
