Download A Free TemaTres Pack

March 11, 2014

Despite the dubious quality of the blog Home-Education. Free Download., they do make an interesting point with the post “TemaTres Pack.” Other than a link to a questionable download Web site, there is nothing in the post. What sort of knowledge can a user glen from a blog that was obviously made to house content and make a few cents on a dollar for the creator?

TemaTres is a legitimate open source vocabulary server developed to manage and exploit dictionaries, taxonomies thesauri, and other formal representations of knowledge. It can also be downloaded at SourceForge, trust this over the above link.

Open source is a key player in technology and software development. Proprietary and open source are ingrained with each other and it is difficult to discern where the line is drawn-except when money comes into play. This link to a TemaTres download begs the question: what does free downloads do to the business models of Smartlogic, Modeca, and other vocabulary management firms?

Companies are built on the entire premise of developing software to manage information, control vocabulary lists, and present it in a useful form. Open source is a boon to users, but is TemaTres going to dampen these companies’ profits? It is possible, but open source lacks the organization of a paying its developers and sometimes offering a robust solution without an IT professional.
