nfo:SoftwareService: Tracker Ontology Reference Manual

## nfo:SoftwareService nfo:SoftwareService |

## Description

A service published by a piece of software, either by an operating system or an application. Examples of such services may include calendar, addresbook and mailbox managed by a PIM application. This category is introduced to distinguish between data available directly from the applications (Via some Interprocess Communication Mechanisms) and data available from files on a disk. In either case both DataObjects would receive a similar interpretation (e.g. a Mailbox) and wouldn't differ on the content level.
