The Desktop Entry Specification now provide a "Keywords" section.
Extract from the spec[1]:

"A list of strings which may be used in addition to other metadata to describe this entry. This can be useful e.g. to facilitate searching through entries."

This entry is used, for example, by Unity (Ubuntu default desktop) to find apps that the user search in a semantic way.

Here is my proposal (think as "if user search $keyword, he should find $app):
Writer: odt;docx;Text;Letter;CV;
Calc: ods;xls;xlsx;Accounting;Stats;Chart;
Impress: odp;ppt;pptx;Slide;Slideshow;Presentation;
Draw: odg;Vector;Schema;Diagram;
Math: Equation;
Base: Data;

It would also be cool to add words such as "Excel", "PowerPoint", etc. because they became kind of common nouns for some people. We may also add "Oracle", "MySQL", "PostgreSQL", etc. to Base.
But I don't know if it is doable because these words are trademarked.
