Apache Stanbol

Apache Stanbol provides a set of reusable components for semantic content management. Apache Stanbol's intended use is to extend traditional content management systems with semantic services. Other feasible use cases include: 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, etc. In order to be used as a semantic engine via its services, all components offer their functionalities in terms of a RESTful web service API.Apache Stanbol is designed to bring semantic technologies to existing content management systems (CMS).

If you have a CMS and you want to start using semantic technologies in combination with your content, Apache Stanbol is a good software for you.To make the integration as easy and painless as possible all Apache Stanbol features are accessible via RESTful web services. All you need is to connect your CMS via HTTP to an instance of Apache Stanbol. Additionally, Apache Stanbol comes with a CMS Adapter component as a bridge between a CMIS/JCR compliant content repositories and the semantic metadata repository in Apache Stanbol.

With its reasoning capability services are able to retrieve additional semantic information about the content based on the semantic information retrieved via content enhancement.It has a basic Content Enhancement capability which analyzes textual content, enhance it with named entities (person, place, organization) and suggest links to open data source.Apache Stanbol can work with multiple languages (EN, DE, SV, DA, PT and NL) as well as providing a repository structure such as thesaurus or domain ontology, e.g. categories.
