+Applications include extending existing 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. Its main features include:
-- Persistence: services that store (or cache) semantic information and make it searchable
-- Lifting/Enhancement: services that add semantic information to ânon-semanticâ pieces of content
-- Knowledge models and reasoning: services that enhance the semantic information
-- Interaction: intelligent user interface management and generation
+- **Content Enhancement**<br>
+ Services that add semantic information to ânon-semanticâ pieces of content.
+- **Reasoning**<br>
+ Services that are able to retrieve additional semantic information about the content based on the semantic information retrieved via content enhancement.
+- **Knowledge Models**<br>
+ Services that are used to define and manipulate the data models (e.g. ontologies) that are used to store the semantic information.
+- **Persistence**<br>
+ Services that store (or cache) semantic information and make it searchable.
+
+Apache Stanbol features provide the basics to create content management systems with intelligent user interfaces. Those user interfaces benefit from the semantic information that can be handled by Apache Stanbol. See the [documentation](docs/trunk/index.html) and [usage scenarios](docs/trunk/scenarios.html) pages for more details.
The Apache Stanbol project was initiated by the European R&D project [IKS](http://www.iks-project.eu) - 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 [adopting Apache Stanbol](http://wiki.iks-project.eu/index.php/Participants).

### Disclaimer
Apache Stanbol is an effort undergoing incubation at [The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)](http://apache.org/), sponsored by the [Apache Incubator PMC](http://incubator.apache.org/). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
