Hi All, My accepted proposal is "Integrate YAGO and AIDA NED with Apache Stanbol" which addresses the issue STANBOL-1295 [1]. YAGO is a semantic knowledge base similar to dbpedia and freebase, but provides much cleaner thematic domains and has useful representation of spatial, temporal and context information about entities. As the initial part of this project, YAGO will be integrated as a referenced site in Stanbol.
AIDA is a framework developed for entity disambiguation which uses YAGO as the knowledge base for disambiguation. Even though my proposal aimed at integrating AIDA, with its conflicting licence it is not possible to integrate AIDA. Therefore after the initial discussion with my assigned mentor Rafa, this project will address pending task related to disambiguation, Jira issue STANBOL-1183 [2]. That is developing a disambiguation API for Stanbol. I have started looking in to Stanbol indexing tool and configurations. Also getting familiar with entity disambiguation in Stanbol [3]. About myself, I am a final year undergraduate student from Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa. Recently I have completed my internship as R&D Engineering intern at Zaizi, an open source consultant company in enterprise content management, during which I had the opportunity to work with open source projects such as Stanbol and Mahout. Looking forward for a great summer of coding!
