-    <p>Apache Stanbol (currently in <a href="http://incubator.apache.org">incubating</a>) provides a  set of reusable components for semantic content management. For users it is important to note that Stanbol is NOT a semantic CMS by it own. It is designed to provide semantic services for existing content management.</p>

-<p>However while Apache Stanbol was build with CMS in mind it can also be used in different usage scenarios including: Direct usage from web applications (e.g. for Tag extraction/suggestion; or text completion in search fields), 'smart' Content workflows or email routing based on extracted Entities/Topics, ...</p>

 <h3 id="content-enhancement">Content Enhancement</h3>
-<p>Extracting information of parsed content is the most common use case forApache Stanbol. For that users need to use the <a href="docs/trunk/enhancer/enhancerrest.html">RESTful API</a> of the Stanbol Enhancer to send their Content to Stanbol. The Enhancer that uses its <a href="doc/trunk/enhancer/engines">Semantic Engines</a> to analyze the parsed Content. Extracted information are represented as RDF and returned in the Response of the Enhancement Request. For more Information about how to use the Stanbol Enhancer for Enhancing your Content please see this <a href="docs/trunk/contentenhancement.html">Usage Scenario</a>. </p>
-<p>This service is intended to be used by Content Management Systems to extract information from managed content. Those information can than be used to improve search and navigation. However Enhancement Results can be also used to support Content Editors e.g. by suggesting Tags or by allowing them to directly interact with Entities mentioned in the Text as shown in the following figure.</p>

This <a href="docs/trunk/enhancer/engines/list.html">List of Enhancement Engines</a> provides a good overview about the different option.

-<p>Apache Stanbol is built with multi lingually in mind. All components do support multi lingually however user need to be aware the not all features are available in all languages. Especially the Stanbol Enhancer depends on the availability of Natural Language Processing (NLP) functionality for given languages. Also the linking to Entities requires users to provide language specific labels.
