+  <p>
+    Tracker is an RDF (resource data format) storage engine.  RDF consists of
+    <em>triplets</em> such as subject:verb:object.  For example, there could be
+    standard triplets for book titles and authors, such as
+    <code>Othello:has-author:William Shakespeare</code>.  A standardized set of
+    triplet forms is called an <em>ontology</em>.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    Tracker provides a storage for such triplets, and a query engine in the
+    form of the SPARQL query language.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    Gnome uses Tracker as a storage for document metadata.  A document's
+    metadata may include its title, authors, copyright, modification date, and
+    keywords.  All this metadata is stored as RDF triplets in Tracker, and queried
+    with SPARQL by applications such as Gnome Documents.  The <a
+      href="http://developer.gnome.org/ontology/unstable/";>ontology used</a> is based
+    on various standard sub-ontologies:  <link xref="http://dublincore.org/";>Dublin
+      Core</link> for document metadata, and <link
+      xref="http://nepomuk.kde.org/";>NEPOMUK</link> for annotations, files, contacts,
+    and other items.
