Proposal to Establish the Apache Stanbol Project
Hi,
based on the feedback [1, 2] I have created a proposal for a
resolution based on this template [3]. Please, review this resolution
carefully and check it for correct wording and completeness.
We may discuss the scope and description of the project. I have used
the following description in the proposal:
"[...] charged with the creation and maintenance of
open-source software related to linked-data components
supporting semantic content management"

Hi,
okay I see your point. Then I will change the description to
[...] charged with the creation and maintenance of
open-source software related to a set of reusable
components for semantic content management [...]
WDYT?
Best,
- Fabian

I do not like the usage of "linked-data components" as it sounds like
"components that allow you to publish linked data" but Stanbol is only
about consuming and not publishing. In addition linked-data do not
play a central role within Apache Stanbol - at least not a more
important as NLP, Semantic Search and some other topics. So I am not
sure if we should include "linked-data" in the resolution.
I would suggest to adapt the sentence used on the main page of the
Stanbol homepage for the resolution
"Apache Stanbol provides a set of reusable components for semantic
content management."
WDYT
Rupert
