Re: Customized meta data: Is there a generalized equivalent for something like digikam?

Hello,

It just came to my mind, that it would be a terrific help with keeping track
of my research data, if there was something analogous with digikam but with
a much less file type specialized scope. An aplication that reads in a
defined part of your file system and allows you to create custom metadata
(kept in a parallel db structure) to your files:
- pdf x was suggested reading by y and bred idea z
- image a was aquired from experiment b under conditions c. Conlcusion from
it is d. Follow up experiment can be found under e.
...

Random things like that.

Somebody recently suggested BasKet as a tool to organize data. (I think it was
discussed on debian-science, but I am not sure.)
http://basket.kde.org/
(It is currently only included in Sid.)

It seems to do a least some of the things that you want.
