I'm also involved in the fusepool.eu project which will need a platform
providing more than the current stanbol HTTP endpoits but real REST
endpoints for humans and machines. Also security and a plugable and
optional UI are needed. If Stanbol want to go in this direction then it
would be good to integrate the parts of Clerezza providing this.

I don't think this can really be compared. Clerezza is already quite close
to comfroming with the Linked Data Platform Specification. It has a
lightweigh arcitecture very similar to Stanbol based on OSGi. By contrast
Salzburg Research Marmotta/Linda proposal is a Java Enterprise application
that ceratinly could use some stanbol services but which has a quite
different architecture. The W3C LDP isn't describing a heavy weight
architecture but a set of recommendation on how to use the REST principles
in the context of linked data. If stanbol wants to provide the promised
RESTfull services it should strive for compliance with LDP specifications.
