Haystack (MIT project)
Haystack is a project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to research and develop several applications around personal information management and the Semantic Web. The most notable of those applications is the Haystack client, a research personal information managers and one of the fist to be based on semantic desktop technologies. The Haystack client is developed in a RDF-aware dynamic language, Adenine, built for this project on top of Java and published as open source software under the BSD license.
Similar to the Chandler PIM, the Haystack system unifies handling different types of unstructured information through a common representation in RDF that is presented to the users in a configurable human-readable way.
