About The Vazaar Project

Vazaar is a Personal Information Management which has the aim of helping you to build your own knowledge database. It’s powered by Semantic Web technologies which bring the power of the semantic to your Personal Desktop. As this is my first approach to this kind of technologies you can consider this version as a proof of concept.
