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. -- Vishesh Handa
