Beagle: * API completeness: Complete * Onto support: Support for a limited subset of the onto. Most common fields can be expected to work. * XML Query support: Check * User Search Lang. support: Actually just use the standard Beagle search language, which is close enough to the Xesam USL so that users might never notice the difference * Roadmap: Anticipate Xesam developments and quality of the API. If deemed good move the xesam-adaptor into Beagle's core Pinot: * API completeness: No Xesam API yet * Onto support: None * XML Query support: Check * User Search Lang. support: Check * Roadmap: ? Strigi: * API completeness: The code seems to be there, but I have not been succesful using it yet... * Onto support: I see the ontology in the Strigi source tree but I don't know if it is used * XML Query support: Check (sharing code with Pinot) * User Search Lang. support: Check (sharing code with Pinot) * Roadmap: Bug fixes Tracker: * API completeness: Being written as we speak/email * Onto support: Also in progress at this moment * XML Query support: Supports RDF-query which is very close to Xesam's QL, porting should be swift and without mercy ;-) * User Search Lang. support: No * Roadmap: Support Xesam for next major release. Lots of people are working on this Cheers, Mikkel
