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!)
