Hi Fabian,
first of all thanks for the interest in the project.

So I did prepare a document that can be found here:

I hope it will help you to see if, as you say, our project's features
fit in your roadmap.
Well, I'm not saying it does not fit, but also take into account that
does not require to: you can build your project using Marmotta as
platform with your own agenda. But let's see
For the document, I'd like to quote a sentence:
"Before initiating this discussion with the Marmotta team, our
intention was to develop our own tool based on node.js/Sesame-OWLIM
for the back-end, and HTML 5 for the front-end."
Such plan would be still possible: you just replace OWLIM by Marmotta,
and in case you would like to reuse the same runtime, node.js by JavaEE.
The rest pieces can remain the same.
Actually looking to the idea, technologically talking it does not look
so different to what the Fusepool P3 FP7 project tries to do. So,
although still in a very early stage, you could take that platform [1]
as example of usage/extension of Marmotta.
Going deeper into the components of the project:
* Many components are UI one. Since it's one of the weakness of the
project, I'd say that the results would be relevant for the project for
sure.
* For me the "OverLOD Referencer" has a big potential of reusing the
infrastructure provided by LDClient [2] and LDCache [3].
* For sure you may benefit of some of the other infrastructure (LDP,
SPARQL and so on) which does not make sense you implement from scratch.
* The analytics part is something interesting to see.
* And for sure, all Linked Data apps built of top will be always well
received.
So, from my personal point of view, I'd welcome OverLOD to be built on
top of Marmotta and start to join the community with relevant
contributions. I can't promise so much effort besides my support when
possible, but we'll manage somehow.
Cheers,
