Reading http://nepomuk-kde.semanticdesktop.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/, your 
mythtv and my digikam seem to provide meta-data of type 2:
"Metadata created manually by the user. In the most simple case this can be a 
comment to a file or an email."
as opposed to meta-data of type 1:
"Metadata that can be found in files stored on the local harddisk like tag 
information in audio files, timestamps, or simple indexed text. This metadata 
can be extracted and indexed at any time"
Strigi's strength, due to its speed and stream-using approach is probably only 
the extraction of type-1-meta-data. The linkage of external information to a 
file is probably rather nepomuk's task than strigi's one.

Bye
Tobias
