We can add the missing NAO property "nao:hasSymbol", and the range will be a
nfo:FileDataObject.

There is no documentation about miners yet. A miner is a process that takes
information from somewhere, translate it into SparQL and send it to tracker.
At the moment there is no "export" functionality in tracker and it is not
trivial to add it, but it is in the roadmap for local content.

About images, the flickr/picassa miner download the basic information from
the images, and set it in tracker. F-Spot can ask "all images" to tracker,
and the answer is a collection of URIs: some local, some remote. GVFS should
do the magic to handle those images.

That would be great. It could be the first example of tags shared between
applications.
