I will give you my opinion about CLAVIN and Stanbol. CLAVIN seems to be a single purpose small project, but you immediately grasp the benefits. Look at the demo for 1 minute, and you *want* to add that feature to your software. It might even motivate you to learn more about Lucene.
On the contrary, Stanbol's benefits are not so clear. It is a much clever architecture, for sure. But there are too few demos of the added value of it. May be, you could organize a webinar, or record a Youtube video, so you help us understand the benefit of Stanbol over something simpler (like CLAVIN for example).
