Tracker: Present and Future
Authors: Carlos Garnacho Event: GUADEC 2017
Abstract:
- Tracker has become a foundation for many core apps. It has provided a common metadata store for applications to share, making all of the data a giant interconnected graph. However, times change. There’s now initiatives like flatpak that make this interconnected graph more accessory, or even not desirable. This talk will cover the plans to make Tracker a good citizen in the sandboxing world, and what this means for applications.

The Ways of Tracker
Authors: Carlos Garnacho, Aleksander Morgado
Event: GUADEC 2013
Abstract:
- Tracker is a semantic data storage, using W3C standards for RDF ontologies using Nepomuk with SPARQL and yadda yadda yadda. The usefulness of Tracker is often diminished by the many buzzwords and concepts to grasp around it. This talk will demythify those and will present practical information about how to make your application help build, or make use of, a better search.
