What is it?
===========

Tracker is a semantic data storage for desktop and mobile devices. 
Tracker uses W3C standards for RDF ontologies using Nepomuk with SPARQL 
to query and update the data.

Tracker is a central repository of user information, that provides two 
big benefits for the user; shared data between applications and 
information which is relational to other information (for example: 
mixing contacts with files, locations, activities and etc.).
