I may have to give BBDB3 a whirl, given I've started to pickup elisp. My initial experience was hideous, but if I can get phone integration perhaps it'd be worth the pain. On the semantic note, I found a utility called tmsu recently (http://tmsu.org/) which allows semantic tagging of files. There was a cool looking filesystem called Tagsistant too, but it unfortunately appears abandoned.
