It is new, so there isn't an Emacs interface to it. http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Tracker ,----[ tracker ] | Tracker is a powerful desktop-neutral first class object database, | tag/metadata database, search tool and indexer. | | It consists of a common object database that allows entities to have | an almost infinte number of properties, metadata (both | embedded/harvested as well as user definable), a comprehensive | database of keywords/tags and links to other entities. | | It provides additional features for file based objects including | context linking and audit trails for a file object. | | It has the ability to index, store, harvest metadata. retrieve and | search all types of files and other first class objects. `---- -- Leo (GPG Key: 9283AA3F)
