Some thoughts about the ontology: 1) KDE is not using nepomuk anymore: https://community.kde.org/Baloo#Baloo.2C_Nepomuk.2C_KDE_Platform_4_and_KF5 2) Previous attempts of sharing the ontology maintenance failed because of bizantine discussions for any change. It wasn't worthy when Tracker was the only serious (as shipping a product) user of them. 3) Moving the ontologies to their own repo still looks like a good idea, because there have been some tries to run tracker with custom ontologies. A different repo makes it clear that the ontology is not "hardcoded" in the store and can be customized "downstream". Small letter on #3: IIRC there are some "foundation" ontologies that are absolutely required to bootstrap the DB (rdf, dc...). Regards, Ivan
