Does that mean that Nepomuk has it's own ontology, and we can't use existing 
RDF ones?

Is it ok to read from the Redland triple store directly or should it always be 
done via a Nepomuk service? I ask because Ruby has some nice software for 
reading and writing to rdf stores (ActiveRDF), and I would like to be able to 
use those apis for kde/ruby programming. QtRuby/Korundum can use QtDBus too. 
Should C++ programs access Nepumuk via Soprano (or ActiveRDF for ruby), and 
hence the triple store directly, or only go via a dbus api?
