Hey guys

I thought I should chime in. I'm currently the maintainer of Baloo in KDE,
and was the maintainer of the Nepomuk project in KDE.

We, in KDE, were quite fed up with the ontologies. With Baloo, we're no
longer using any ontologies. The project simple aims to be a good search
index for files. Baloo does not store any data and is just an index. The
small amount of information that we need to store - user tags and ratings
are stored in the xattr of the files.

The Nepomuk KDE project is pretty much dead.

I'll be happy to answer any further questions you have.
