Hi, this is going to take some clarification so you understand what I’m trying 
to accomplish.  Bare with me.

I’m looking at Stanbol as a solution to some requirements that I have received 
from my customer.  They want dynamic and intelligent content with a social feel 
across all of their content DBs.  I’m looking at around 3PB of data stored in 
various databases ranging from geospatial imagery, documents, images, and 
video.  I want to show the concept of semantic web can help them see, view and 
find their data faster and more intelligently.  I want to be able to feed 
documents into Stanbol, get a tag cloud based on information in the object and 
find out what objects are most related based upon a the relationships that are 
found over time.  

  My background is as a developer mainly dealing with geospatial image 
processing, large object delivery over low coms, security, and OGC systems like 
ESRI and OpenGeo.  CMS, and semantic web is proving to be a large area of study 
that I’m trying to get up to speed with.  I did however get Stanbol up and 
running quickly and very easily and have run a few documents through the 
default config and have been happy with the results.

  Here is a basic list of what I want to have happen, and I’m having trouble 
finding a use case that describes anything close.

1.  I can’t store the data, it needs to reside at the origin servers.  so I’m 
“enhancing” links to objects/ metadata.
2.  I don’t have internet access, so this needs to live on a closed network.  I 
could load my own copies of things like DB-pedia, maybe.
3.  I want to grow the intelligence, not start out with everything.  The 
customer is most interested in what is recent, not what is 15 years old, so I 
don’t need to consume all their data.
4.  I want to push every document a user looks at through the system, and then 
over a short amount of time I expect I will have a decent and growing library 
of connections between what is current and important.  
5.  When looking at an image or video, I’d like the user to be able to tag that 
object and based on that tag add that to the enhancements of that and other 
objects in the system.
6.  I want to display a tag cloud, and/or list of related documents based on 
what stanbol knows.


I’m not looking for a solution to all this, I realize that much of it is 
custom, but I feel that the Stanbol services are key to the picture.  I can’t 
find a good example of how this would all fit together, and I don’t think I 
have the semantic / CMS knowledge to just plow forward.  I am looking to have a 
conversation that will get me moving.  Any help you can provide would be very 
appreciated.

Thank you,
