I am extremly interested in working on this subject (on my spare time 
only however). What do you guys have done so far, or what plans do you 
have in mind?

Do you plan to use such a semantic indexer against some kind of 
predefined vocabulary/ontology ? For instance:

                       My doc (raw text) + My ontology

                                      ||
                               [Zemantic/NLTK]
                                      ||
                                      \/

                           Semantic model of my doc
                              stored in a graph

If so, what kind of ontology do you plan to use ? Existing ones on some 
specific topic ? Or general / common sense ones ?

One could imagine to reuse semi-structured vocabulary from free online 
dictionaries such as http://en.wiktionary.org to build such a general 
ontology. If so which syntax should be used: OWL DL?
