<h1 class="title">Welcome to Apache Stanbol (incubating)</h1>
- <p>Apache Stanbol (currently in <a
href="http://incubator.apache.org";>incubation</a>) is an open source modular
software stack and reusable set of components for semantic content
management.</p>
-<p>Apache Stanbol <a href="docs/trunk/components.html">components</a> are
meant to be accessed over RESTful interfaces to provide semantic services for
content management. Thus, one application is to extend traditional content
management systems with (internal or external) semantic services. Additionally,
Apache Stanbol let's you create new types of content management systems with
semantics at their core. The current code is written in Java and based on the
<a href="http://www2.osgi.org/Specifications/HomePage";>OSGi</a> component
framework.</p>
-<p>Apache Stanbol's main features are:</p>

semantic technologies to current CMS Systems." /></p>
+<p>the main <strong>Features</strong> are</p>
+<h3 id="content-enhancement">Content Enhancement</h3>
+<p><span style="float:right"> <img alt="Content Enhancement with the Stanbol
Enhancer" src="images/stanbol-feature-enhancer.png" title="Extract semantic
information from parsed Content" /></span></p>
+<p>The Stanbol Enhancer provides a <a
href="docs/trunk/enhancer/enhancerrest.html">RESTful API</a> that allows to <a
href="docs/trunk/contentenhancement.html">extract semantic information</a> from
parsed Content. Results are represented as RDF graph and can be used on the
front end e.g. to improve <a
href="docs/trunk/enhancementusage.html#entity-tagging-use-tags-to-relate-you-content-to-persons-places-events">Tagging</a>
or even <a
href="docs/trunk/enhancementusage.html#entity-checker-inline-editing-of-content-enhancements">inline
Content Annotation</a>. In the backend extracted information can be used to
improve search and content processing workflows.</p>
+<p>In more details the Stanbol Enhancer can enhancer Content in <a
href="docs/trunk/multilingual.html">multiple languages</a>. It can be
configured to use <a href="docs/trunk/customvocabulary.html">custom
vocabularies</a>. This <a href="docs/trunk/enhancer/engines/list.html">List of
Enhancement Engines</a> provides a good overview about the different option.
However users with special needs can also extend the Stanbol Enhancers by
implementing their own <a href="docs/trunk/enhancer/engines/">Enhancement
Engine</a>.</p>
+<h3 id="manage-your-domain-data">Manage your Domain Data</h3>
+<p><span style="float:right"> <img alt="Entity Management with the Stanbol
Entityhub" src="images/stanbol-feature-entityhub.png" title="Manage your
Vocabulary and fast local caches of Linked Data sets with the Stanbol
Entityhub" /></span></p>
+<p>Information (Data/Knowledge) about relevant Entities are key for any
semantic System. But those information may come from a variety of source. The
Stanbol Entityhub provides tools and services that allow you and the other
Stanbol components to access those data via RESTful services.</p>
+<p>The Entityhub allows you to create/manage your own local Entities. It also
provides a tool for <a href="docs/trunk/customvocabulary.html">create local
indexes</a> of datasets. This is important for supporting fast local queries as
required by the Stanbol Enhancer. The Entityhub can also reference and cache
remotely hosted datasets. It directly supports <a
href="http://linkeddata.org";>Linked Data</a> protocols but can also be extended
to work with services that use special protocols and formats.</p>
+<p>The Apache Entityhub also implements the <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/google-refine/";>Google Refine</a> <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/google-refine/wiki/ReconciliationServiceApi";>Reconciliation
API</a>. Google Refine is a powerful tool for working with messy data. The
reconciliation step allows to link those data with information of other data
sets - similar to the Stanbol Enhancer suggesting links within parsed
content.</p>
+<h3 id="knowledge-models-and-reasoning">Knowledge Models and Reasoning</h3>

ontologies) that are used to store the semantic information.</p>

extraction; <a href="http://opennlp.apache.org/";>Apache OpenNLP</a> - for
natural language processing; <a

<p>Apache Stanbol features provide the basics to create content management
systems with semantically advanced user interfaces. Those user interfaces
benefit from the semantic information that can be handled by Apache Stanbol.

<hr />
<p>The Apache Stanbol project was initiated by the European R&D project <a
href="http://www.iks-project.eu";>IKS</a> - Interactive Knowledge Stack for
small to medium CMS providers. Some people who are working on the project are
part-funded by the IKS project, as well as by several European SME CMS
providers, who are <a
href="http://wiki.iks-project.eu/index.php/Participants";>adopting Apache
Stanbol</a>. </p>
