This is the package description from yum info evolution-data-server. It 
has a dependency on gnome-panel and hence cannot be removed if you are 
using GNOME.

"The evolution-data-server package provides a unified backend for 
programs that work with contacts, tasks, and calendar information.

It was originally developed for Evolution (hence the name), but is now 
used by other packages"
