Knowledge: A Different Approach to a Database on the Desktop (KDE.News)

[Posted June 29, 2010 by ris]

KDE.News takes a look at Knowledge, a prototype of a flexible database. "Knowledge was coded in Python to save development time and, while incomplete, allows the ideas behind Information Management software to be explored. Knowledge goes beyond existing KDE applications for storing textual information in a searchable format (Knotes etc.) because the data is stored in a highly structured way, which provides many possibilities for both the GUI display of data, and for searches. The data is stored in records, but unlike most other databases these are flexible as fields within each can be arbitrarily added, removed or re-ordered."
