Soprano is the rdf-framework for the semantic desktop, aka Nepomuk.
Without the sporano-framework, Nepomuk and Strigi will not work. So if
you are indexing your /home to enable semantic searches (e.g.
searching for specific strings or tags) you will need all three of
them.
BTW, of course the files do not have tags by default, but these can be
added which will make the desktop search even more personalized.

More information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soprano_(KDE)

KDE has a resource available for this too, of course: http://nepomuk.kde.org/

There are two major information branches on that website, one for the
users: http://nepomuk.kde.org/discover/user
and for the developers: http://nepomuk.kde.org/discover/developer

And a very good source of information is the blog of Sebastian Trüg
who is responsible for Nepomuk. Until February 2009 it is here:
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/2904, then he moved his blog here:
http://trueg.wordpress.com/


Regards, Myriam.
