I like this idea. :) We could even collaborate if interested. For the very same purposes, plus to organize everything else I want to, I wrote and use OneModel (AGPL), creating inside it a calendar with ticklers, lists of gift ideas or other ideas for activities, etc, all sorted by when I want to see them or how I can most easily find them in a hierarchy. I have created a sort of structure for things I might to remember about each person (journal of past interactions, contact info, etc etc) that I also use for my dealings with some businesses so I can revisit who said what when, if needed. And it can auto-provide the structure in for future persons or organizations I add to my contact list, but only when wanted. Same with anything else I want to track.

And it creates a soft of personal journal for me as a side-effect, by exporting everything created (or archived) for date ranges, so my odd random notes fit in also. It lets you optionally mark things as public or private, export things as .txt outlines or an .html mini-web site, and (hopefully) soon exchange info with others if desired. Self- or my-hosted.

Unfortunately, OM also lacks a nice video and installation is still manual (some postgres config instructions then "java -jar...") until interest warrants a real installer. I use it for everything (no mobile support yet) and it is extremely efficient for a touch typist, and easy to learn as everything is on the screen in menus generated context-sensitively on the fly.

If we did collaborate, your strength would probably include UI & web work. OneModel's might include its powerful and flexible internal structure and REST api that I am finishing (on the github "wip" branch). Just some thoughts, as I don't know your's internals at all of course.... Forgive me if I'm being presumptuous.


onemodel looks good. I'd love it as a knowledge graph editor that focuses on information from a personal standpoint. Would be interesting to map the data model to RDF.

Java has many good RDF libraries such as Jena.


If it had RDF export would that make you a user? I need feedback (eg, users) now (along with some prettifying and installers). I invite you to join the discussion list and continue this.


If it roundtrips to RDF losslessly it certainly might. I like the konsole interface and the idea of publishing a subset to a website.


Thanks for the comments. I'd be interested in why RDF is important (ideally, on the OM discussion list :). To me, OM is better than the semantic web (on which I am not an expert), for reasons I try to explain in OM's FAQs.
