this categorization seems to quite make sense, and from what i get from shared 
desktop ontologies, they do try to categorize things in a logical way as 
opposed to just technical as it would be for usual "mime types"

what could be missing right now if i understood correctly is applications (if 
i index desktop files they end up under FileDataObject category)

the other categories present now, like presentations, or text documents seem 
to make sense to me from an user pov (just an issue of where pulling 
translations of those names)
