I want the same thing. I would actually like OwnCloud to have a quad store.

That was done by me. The project was "Nepomuk Backup, Sync and Sharing". The
backup and synchronization worked, but the design wasn't great, and it was
only in hindsight that we realized all kinds of problems. Fortunately, most
of my work was used to develop the Data Management service, which is the
core part of Nepomuk 2.0.

Right now, some parts of backup and synchronization needs to be rewritten,
and they need to be merged with the Storage service. It's not a big job, it
involves throwing a lot of code away and I should get down to it. The
complex code which does the identification of duplicates and merges triples
into the repository is already there. And it has been tested thoroughly.

The sharing service is still just a prototype. However, we're going to be
working on it during the Telepathy sprint (15th-18th September)

Of course. We would like that as well.

I'm not really familiar with SyncML. I'll take some time and read up about
it.

Till then could you tell what your plans were?
