 * __ORDERING_PRE_PROCESSING__: All values >= 200 are considered for engines 
that do some kind of preprocessing of the Content. This includes e.g. the 
conversation of media formats such as extracting the plain text from HTML, 
keyframes from videos, wave form from mp3 ...; extracting metadata directly 
encoded within the parsed content such as ID3 tags from MP3 or RDFa, microdata 
provided by HTML content.
 * __ORDERING_CONTENT_EXTRACTION__: This range includes values form < 200 and 
>= 100 and shall be used by enhancement engine that need to analyze the parsed 
content to extract additional metadata. Examples would be Language detection, 
Natural Language Processing, Named Entity Recognition, Face Detection in 
Images, Speech to text …
 * __ORDERING_EXTRACTION_ENHANCEMENT__: This range includes values from < 100 
and >= 1 and shall be used by enhancement engines to provide semantic lifting 
of preexisting enhancement such as linking named entities extracted by an NER 
engine with entities defines in a controlled vocabulary or lifting artist 
names, song titles ... extracted from mp3 files with the according Entities 
defined in an music database.

default value for all EnhancementEngines that do not provide ordering 
information or do not implement the ServicesProperties interface.

processing of enhancement results such as schema translation, filtering of

 The Engine Ordering information as described here are used by the 
[DefaultChain](../chains/defaultchain.html) and the 
[WeightedChain](../chains/weightedchain.html) to calculate the 
[ExecutionPlan](../chains/executionplan.html).

define the correct position of his engine within an typical enhancement chain 
and therefore ensure that users that add this engine to a Stanbol Enhancer 
installation to immediately use this engine with the

 However the Engine Ordering is not the only possibility for users to control 
the execution order. Enhancement chain implementations such as the 
[ListChain](../chains/listchain.html) and the 
[GraphChain](../chains/graphchain.html) do also allow to directly define the 
oder of execution. For this chains the ordering information provided by 
EnhancementEngines are ignored.

-Out of a user perspective there is one major use case for configuring multiple 
enhancement engines for the same name. This is to allow the definition of 
fallback engines if the main one becomes unavailable. e.g. lets assume that a 
user has a local cache of geonames.org loaded into the Entityhub and configures 
an [NamedEntityLinking](keywordlinkingengine.html) engine to perform semantic 
lifting of extracted locations. However Stanbol also provides the [geonames.org 
Engine](geonamesengine.html) that provides a similar functionality by directly 
accessing [geonames.org](http://geonames.org). By configuring both engines for 
the same name, but specifying a higher service ranking for the one using the 
local cache one can ensure that the local cache is used for the enhancement 
under normal circumstances. However in case the local cache becomes unavailable 
the other engine using the remote service will be used for enhancement.

 ## Main Interfaces and Utilities
 
-A __Content Item__ is the unit of content that Stanbol Enhancer can deal with. 
It gives access to the binary content that was registered, and the graph that 
represents its metadata (provided by client and/or generated). The 
__Enhancement Engine__ provides the interface to internal or external semantic 
enhancement engines. There will usually be several of those, that the 
EnhancementJobManager uses to enhance content items. The __Enhancement Job 
Manager__ accepts requests for enhancing ContentItems, and processes them 
either synchronously or asynchronously (as decided by the enhancement engines 
or by configuration). The __Enhancement Engine Helper__ provides the classes 
for the resulting enhancement structure according to the defined __Enhancement 
Structure__.

*fact*. The FactStore let's you store N-ary facts according to a user defined 
fact schema. In consequence you can store relations between N participating 
entities. The FactStore only stores the relation and not the entities itself. 
It only uses references to entities by using the entities' URI. The entities 
itself should be handled by another component, e.g. the 
[EntityHub](../entityhub.html). A fact is defined by a fact schema which is 
defined over types of entities.

-
-A fact schema can be defined between an arbitrary number of entities. In most 
cases a fact schema is defined between two or three entities. For example, the 
fact schema 'works-for' can be defined as a relation between entities of type 
'Person' and 'Organization'. The Fact Store interface allows the creation of 
custom fact schemata and to store facts according to these custom schemata.

-The Fact Store provides a simple way to define and store facts. This component 
is meant to be used in scenarios where a simple solution is sufficient and it 
is not required to define a complex ontology with reasoning support.
