+
+ <p>
+ Tracker is an RDF (resource data format) storage engine. RDF consists of
+ <em>triplets</em> such as subject:verb:object. For example, there could be
+ standard triplets for book titles and authors, such as
+ <code>Othello:has-author:William Shakespeare</code>. A standardized set of
+ triplet forms is called an <em>ontology</em>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Tracker provides a storage for such triplets, and a query engine in the
+ form of the SPARQL query language.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Gnome uses Tracker as a storage for document metadata. A document's
+ metadata may include its title, authors, copyright, modification date, and
+ keywords. All this metadata is stored as RDF triplets in Tracker, and queried
+ with SPARQL by applications such as Gnome Documents. The <a
+ href="http://developer.gnome.org/ontology/unstable/">ontology used</a> is based
+ on various standard sub-ontologies: <link xref="http://dublincore.org/">Dublin
+ Core</link> for document metadata, and <link
+ xref="http://nepomuk.kde.org/">NEPOMUK</link> for annotations, files, contacts,
+ and other items.
