Title: Overview about Apache Stanbol (incubating)
Apache Stanbol (currently in [incubating](http://incubator.apache.org)) 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 style="text-align: center;"><figcaption>Figure 1: Apache Stanbol is aimed to bring semantic technologies to current CMS Systems. </figcaption></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, ...
The remaining part of this Document provides an overview about Apache Stanbol by means of describing typical usage scenarios.

### Content Enhancement
-Extracting information of parsed content is the most common usage of Apache Stanbol.
+Extracting information of parsed content is the most common use case forApache Stanbol. For that users need to use the [RESTful API](docs/trunk/enhancer/enhancerrest.html) of the Stanbol Enhancer to send their Content to Stanbol. The Enhancer that uses its [Semantic Engines](doc/trunk/enhancer/engines) 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 [Usage Scenario](docs/trunk/contentenhancement.html).
-The Stanbol Enhancer provides a [RESTful API](docs/trunk/enhancer/enhancerrest.html) that allows to [extract semantic information](docs/trunk/contentenhancement.html) from parsed Content.

+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 users while during content Editing e.g. by suggesting mentioned entities as Tags or by allowing them to directly interact with mentions within the text as shown by the next figure.
Results are represented as RDF graph and can be used on the front end e.g. to improve [Tagging](docs/trunk/enhancementusage.html#entity-tagging-use-tags-to-relate-you-content-to-persons-places-events) or even [inline Content Annotation](docs/trunk/enhancementusage.html#entity-checker-inline-editing-of-content-enhancements). In the backend extracted information can be used to improve search and content processing workflows.
