The repository you mentioned is what we called "the scribo framework" that will be used/integrated into XWiki's annotation framework which is currently in a development phase. What you will find in those repos is not really XWiki specific but it is the foundation for building an integration with XWiki (and also with other products that are developed by the partners of the Scribo project). Just to be clearer, Scribo is a research project and currently consists of a "cloud" of heterogeneous and independent technologies developed by several partners, among them several research institutions and industrial partners (including XWiki). You can the links to these technology on this page: http://www.scribo.ws/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Development The project is still in its "initial phases", we are almost at month 10 of 24. We already have some usable stuff but we expect to have something more usable at the beginning of 2010.

In particular it aims at isolating interesting parts of an image (for example the text in a complex picture) or recognizing its structure and assigning "meaning" to the components. Think, for example, to an invoice. It has several areas: the company address, the product list, the recipient of the invoice, etc. In developing Scribo we are trying to reuse open source frameworks and build on them. In particular we are using UIMA as the integration layer. So in principle a technology based on audio/video recognition could be integrated but this is out of the scope of the Scribo project. Concerning XWiki, we have different use cases to implement for the Scribo project and we also have different requirements coming from other sources. The annotation component will try to provide a "common ground" for integrating all those requirements easily (where Scribo will be just one of those integrations) I hope that this answer your mail, feel free to ask other question. Thanks again for your input. Regards, Fabio _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
