The information is 'glued' together via Nepomuk, which allows you to do
semantic searches.

It's not a separated storage. The IM data are stored in Akonadi as well,
just as another mimetype (not inside vCard). The nepomuk_im_feeder would
put the IM information to Nepomuk (as nepomuk_contact_feeder does for
the vcards) where they are bound semantically.
