I would +1 for using purely descriptive names for the apache components such as "org.apache.stanbol.ontologymanager.network". However in order to not break the public API at once it would be good to have a progressive phase out of the old public API (Java interfaces and REST API endpoint). For the interface it's quite easy: just make the old deprecated interfaces inherit from the new ones. For the REST API the JAXRS components will have to be registered twice at 2 different URL paths, once for the old deprecated name and once for the new name. -- Olivier http://twitter.com/ogrisel - http://github.com/ogrisel
