[Nepomuk] Re: nepomuk & gnome & firefox

[Sebastian Trüg]

while you can this is pointless when it comes to compatibility between
Gnome and KDE. Nepomuk in KDE uses named graphs to store data and
metadata about the data. This is not supported by Tracker. Thus, your
QSparql code would have to support two cases: Tracker and Nepomuk.
Putting that into the service directly makes way more sense.

Cheers,
Sebastian
