IMO using the 'connectnes' of an entity with suggested one is something that should work well for any schema and is not just limited to FOAF. In addition doing so should be relatively cheap (in comparison to calculating shortest paths as dome by the engine implemented by Antonio). In addition it can also work for entities originating from different vocabularies (if they refer some common resources) and does not require users to build up special index structures (as it can directly work on the relations in the vocabulary). To give a concrete example I could image to use such an engine to disambiguate persons with the same name but related to different companies as define within an CRM management system of a company. > What do others think regarding inclusion of Dileepa's engine in Apache > Stanbol ? > Thats the goal. For that Dileepa you will need to attach the source of your engine as attachment to STANBOL-1161. After that I can add your code to the Stanbol SVN (most likely to a branch where we can make further adaptions before including it to the trunk). Also note that there is also the freebase disambiguation engine from Antonio (STANBOL-1157) and I also noticed that both the foaf and the freebase disambiguation engine do share some code with the disambiguation-mlt engine. So maybe it would be the best to create a branch with all this disambiguation engines and try to extract some cross cutting functionalities to a common module. First candidates of such functionalities would be a Java API for representing disambiguation relevant data extracted from present fise:TextAnnotation and their suggestions (fise:EntityAnnotation) or a API for defining disambiguation contexts (such as sliding windows). best Rupert -- | Rupert Westenthaler rupert.westentha...@gmail.com | Bodenlehenstraße 11 ++43-699-11108907 | A-5500 Bischofshofen
