Abstract
A device for generating semantic folder annotations is provided. The device includes a semantic folder editor which enables a user to create attribute-value pairs corresponding to a semantic folder(s). The device is capable of downloading ontolog(ies) and associated data from an ontology server which may be utilized to determine relationships between the attribute-value pairs created by the user. The device includes an annotations generator which specifies the semantic folder descriptions of the semantic folders based on attribute-value relationships determined by the ontolog(ies). The device is capable of allowing a user to insert an object(s) into a semantic folder(s) and the annotations generator assigns all attribute-value pairs corresponding to the semantic folder to the object(s). The annotations assigned to object(s) may be stored in a semantic triple store. The device further includes a search engine which may be employed by a user to search semantic folders to locate an object(s).
