Resources on the desktop are represented in web directory structure and annotated with information such as concepts, entities, etc. Categories are used to organize resources in the directory. Each category is annotated with concept learnt from the contents of the category. MICE^3 desktop allows users to exploit information and knowledge from their resources.
