We have to describe, document then produce the interfaces for the JNI bridge. We would also need to develop some comprehensive bench marking tests ... possibly a parser integration test to compare the runtime performance over a given document dataset. > > Also I was wondering if the librdfa library should be included somehow in > the Any23 project as a dependency or is it better to keep it separated and > devise a post installation process to add the needed files for the new RDFa > parser. > librdfa is licensed in various ways... there is an option for an Apache License v2.0, so we could actually package it as a dependency along with Any23. https://github.com/rdfa/librdfa/blob/master/LICENSE-apache-2.0 I think that we could visit this in more detail within the near future. This is an excellent consideration however so thank you for raising the issue. Please voice your interest on the JIRA ticket and begin thinking about getting your proposal together. I would also highly encourage you to create a 2018 area for GSoC within the Any23 wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ANY23/Google+Summer+of+Code You can use the 2015 template to get you started. Please send me your wiki username so that i can grant you perms for the wiki. Thannk you > > Regards, > Julio > > [1]https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ANY23-295 > >
