Re: [Tracker] using tracker framework for other data

[Ivan Frade <ivan frade gmail com>]

Hi Olivier,

 Tracker compiles its db schema from the ontology. There are few bits
that you must keep (the basic rdf, xsd, nrl and tracker ontologies)
and you can replace all other ontologies to build your own custom
triplet store.

 If your ontology is ready you can solve your first query in one day.
then you need to translate/insert your data.

 I am very curious on how tracker performs on such a big specific
dataset. It is not designed for that (our mind is on user data and
embedded devices) but can be an excellent test!

 good luck and feel free to post questions or write on IRC!

Ivan
