I am not a programmer of tracker, yet.  However, I want to 
share my thoughts.

Any ontology is primarily defencive to additions or changes. 
 the ontology that tracker writes 'nepomuk' attempts to 
unify a language for various projects.  The ontology nepomuk 
was created by Open Semantic Collaboration Architecture 
Foundation (OSCAF) as project Social Semantic Desktop, 
http://www.semanticdesktop.org/

I think there is value for users and developers to know 
trackers relation to nepomuk, who in the tracker project 
meets with nepomuk.  Perhaps the work is divided to 
programmer per type of ontology, annotation, contact

For users or developers with questions of the ontology in 
tracker, you may have more power to direct your questions at 
the source.

(correct me if wrong)
Developers of an ontology (ex, OSCAF/nepomuk) are typically 
a separate project to the application of an ontology (ex, 
tracker).

I have no contacts to the project Social Semantic Desktop, 
but start at the link pre.

to Florent, or anyone else with similar requests;
I think the current developments with ontologies presents an 
challenge for us all to define our relations in an common 
language.

For example, Florent, if you ask question as intelligently 
and reasoned to social semantic desktop I think you will 
have a better answer.  If your suggestion is added to the 
ontology that tracker uses, then next you could 
unproblematically ask the programmers of tracker to add the 
function.
