Tough one. As Ivan already said, the sentence is very good, as the Nepomuk 
name easily confuses the research project with the KDE implementation. But at 
the same time, you DO have a good point - linking at least a bit with Nepomuk 
might make sense. Lemme think about it a bit (and if others have feedback and 
thoughts, please share them!)
