Re: EU FP Ontology projects

The PIMO ontology is only one of many ontologies published by NEPOMUK.
It is further described in the exhaustive PDF file:
http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/11/01/pimo/v1.1/pimo_v1.1.pdf

there is a class hierarchy from pimo:Thing downwards and from 
pimo:relatingProperty
and pimo:describingProperty.

for the other ontologies, see the other files, this is also quite 
exhaustive:
