This idea is that, when you first install KDE, certain folders (and files perhaps as well) will automatically have Nepomuk metadata assigned to them (comments certainly, maybe tags as well). Examples include the root folders, which should have comments saying what each of them is used for in Linux systems, and your Documents, Desktop, and .kde4 folders, which similarly should have comments saying what they are for. It should be easy for distributions to add their own initial metadat for folders they add.

Similarly, default pictures the system comes with, for instance wallpapers, should already have informative tags.

This is inspired by a discussion with Primoz (see Post 55).

I think this is a very good idea. Also having a variety of default tags will encourage their usage.

Some distributions arrange the file system differently (while most use the /usr /bin /etc /home, etc. system, there are some - most prominently GoboLinux which do other things), so to compensate this shouldn't be anything hard-coded, but instead make the defaults easily configurable so that different distributions can set up different defaults based on their individual file system structures.

If nothing else, automatically commenting system files will make the Linux file system which is so mysterious to newbies a lot clearer.
