<h1 class="title">Welcome to Apache Stanbol (incubating)</h1>
- <p>Apache Stanbol (currently in <a href="http://incubator.apache.org">incubation</a>) is an open source modular software stack and reusable set of components for semantic content management.</p>
-<p>Apache Stanbol <a href="docs/trunk/components.html">components</a> are meant to be accessed over RESTful interfaces to provide semantic services for content management. Thus, one application is to extend 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. The current code is written in Java and based on the <a href="http://www2.osgi.org/Specifications/HomePage">OSGi</a> component framework.</p>
-<p>Apache Stanbol's main features are:</p>
+ <p>Apache Stanbol (<a href="http://incubator.apache.org">incubating</a>) provides a set of RESTful services that aim to extend traditional content management systems with semantic services. bring semantic technologies to Content Management Systems. </p>
+<p><img alt="Apache Stanbol - The semantic engine" src="images/stanbol-semanticengine.png" title="Apache Stanbol is aimed to bring semantic technologies to current CMS Systems." /></p>
+<p>the main <strong>Features</strong> are</p>
+<h3 id="content-enhancement">Content Enhancement</h3>
+<p><span style="float:right"> <img alt="Content Enhancement with the Stanbol Enhancer" src="images/stanbol-feature-enhancer.png" title="Extract semantic information from parsed Content" /></span></p>
+<p>The Stanbol Enhancer provides a <a href="docs/trunk/enhancer/enhancerrest.html">RESTful API</a> that allows to <a href="docs/trunk/contentenhancement.html">extract semantic information</a> from parsed Content. Results are represented as RDF graph and can be used on the front end e.g. to improve <a href="docs/trunk/enhancementusage.html#entity-tagging-use-tags-to-relate-you-content-to-persons-places-events">Tagging</a> or even <a href="docs/trunk/enhancementusage.html#entity-checker-inline-editing-of-content-enhancements">inline Content Annotation</a>. In the backend extracted information can be used to improve search and content processing workflows.</p>
+<p>In more details the Stanbol Enhancer can enhancer Content in <a href="docs/trunk/multilingual.html">multiple languages</a>. It can be configured to use <a href="docs/trunk/customvocabulary.html">custom vocabularies</a>. This <a href="docs/trunk/enhancer/engines/list.html">List of Enhancement Engines</a> provides a good overview about the different option. However users with special needs can also extend the Stanbol Enhancers by implementing their own <a href="docs/trunk/enhancer/engines/">Enhancement Engine</a>.</p>
+<h3 id="manage-your-domain-data">Manage your Domain Data</h3>
+<p><span style="float:right"> <img alt="Entity Management with the Stanbol Entityhub" src="images/stanbol-feature-entityhub.png" title="Manage your Vocabulary and fast local caches of Linked Data sets with the Stanbol Entityhub" /></span></p>
+<p>Information (Data/Knowledge) about relevant Entities are key for any semantic System. But those information may come from a variety of source. The Stanbol Entityhub provides tools and services that allow you and the other Stanbol components to access those data via RESTful services.</p>
+<p>The Entityhub allows you to create/manage your own local Entities. It also provides a tool for <a href="docs/trunk/customvocabulary.html">create local indexes</a> of datasets. This is important for supporting fast local queries as required by the Stanbol Enhancer. The Entityhub can also reference and cache remotely hosted datasets. It directly supports <a href="http://linkeddata.org">Linked Data</a> protocols but can also be extended to work with services that use special protocols and formats.</p>
+<p>The Apache Entityhub also implements the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-refine/">Google Refine</a> <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-refine/wiki/ReconciliationServiceApi">Reconciliation API</a>. Google Refine is a powerful tool for working with messy data. The reconciliation step allows to link those data with information of other data sets - similar to the Stanbol Enhancer suggesting links within parsed content.</p>
+<h3 id="knowledge-models-and-reasoning">Knowledge Models and Reasoning</h3>
+<p><span style="float:right"> <img alt="Knowledge Models, Reasoning and Rule support in Apache Stanbol" src="images/stanbol-feature-ont-reason-rules.png" title="Define your Knowledge Models and use it for Reasoning and Rule based transformation of your Data" /></span></p>
+<p>TODO: Services that are used to define and manipulate the data models (e.g. ontologies) that are used to store the semantic information.</p>
+<h3 id="semantic-indexing-and-search">Semantic Indexing and Search</h3>
+<p><span style="float:right"> <img alt="Semantic Indexing and Search with the Stanbol Contenthub" src="images/stanbol-feature-entityhub.png" title="Manage a customize semantic index over your Documents with the Stanbol Contenthub" /></span></p>
+<p>TODO: Services that store (or cache) semantic information, i.e. enhanced content, entities, facts, and make it searchable</p>
+<h3 id="used-technologies">Used Technologies</h3>
<ul>
-<li><strong><a href="docs/trunk/enhancer">Content Enhancement</a></strong><br>
- Services that add semantic information to ânon-semanticâ pieces of content.</li>
-<li><strong><a href="docs/trunk/reasoners.html">Reasoning</a></strong><br>

+<li>Features provided as <strong>RESTful Services* returning results as </strong><a href="http://www.w3.org/RDF/">RDF</a><strong>(Resource Description Language) and <a href="http://www.json.org/">JSON</a>. Stanbol also supports the use of </strong><a href="http://json-ld.org/">JSON-LD</a>**.</li>
+<li>Available as <strong>Standalone application</strong> (runable Jar) or <strong>Web Archive</strong>(WAR file) deployable on any Servlet Container such as Apache Tomcat.</li>
+<li>Written in <strong>Java</strong> based on <strong><a href="http://www2.osgi.org/Specifications/HomePage">OSGi</a></strong> as component framework</li>
+<li>Implemented using frameworks such as <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/solr/">Apache Solr</a> - for semantic search; <a href="http://tika.apache.org/">Apache Tika</a> - for plain text and metadata extraction; <a href="http://opennlp.apache.org/">Apache OpenNLP</a> - for natural language processing; <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/clerezza/">Apache Clerezza</a> and <a href="http://jena.apache.org/">Apache Jena</a> - as RDF framework and Storage; <a href="http://felix.apache.org">Apache Felix</a> as default OSGI framework and <a href="http://sling.apache.org">Apache Sling</a> for deployment.</li>

<p>Apache Stanbol features provide the basics to create content management systems with semantically advanced user interfaces. Those user interfaces benefit from the semantic information that can be handled by Apache Stanbol. See the <a href="docs/trunk/">documentation</a> pages for more details.</p>

<p>The Apache Stanbol project was initiated by the European R&D project <a href="http://www.iks-project.eu">IKS</a> - 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 <a href="http://wiki.iks-project.eu/index.php/Participants">adopting Apache Stanbol</a>. </p>
