Hi Fabian,
do you think that would also mean to change the package
structure/module names of those engine or do you think it is OK for
any EnhancementEngine that is managed by the Stanbol Community to use
"org.apache.stanbol.enhancer.engine.{engine-name}" as artifactId and
package name.
Regardless of that +1 from my side.
best
Rupert
