In case you are using Sling you should know that Apache Stanbol does use the Sling launcher [1] and the Sling Installer API [2] so you might want to consider to use the JCR installer provider [3] to manage your Stanbol configuration. There is also an own section on the Stanbol Webpage that provides information on how to customize your Stanbol launcher [4] > We've been able to get all of the high level concepts from the > documentation fairly easy. > We are having a difficult time customizing the demo with enhancement > engines/chains. For the configuration of (Named) Entity Linking - detection of Entity mentions in texts - I would suggest to read * Custom Vocabulary Usage scenario [5]. Today I updated the "Configuring the Stanbol Enhancer for your custom Vocabularies" so that it also refers the possibility to use the FST linking engine. * The Apache Con Europe 2012 presentation [6] about the same topic * For detailed information about the configuration of the different engines see their documentation. For that the List of all Enhancement Engines is the best starting point [7] For Topic Classification - content classification - there is not yet a full documentation on the Stanbol Webpage, but this presentation by ogrisel [8] provides detailed instructions how to train and use the topic engine. > Very little experience with OSGI. For the configuration of Enhancement Engines you do not need to have much knowledge of OSGI. * For manually creating configurations you can use the configuration tab of the Apache Felix Web Console (http://localhost:8080/system/console/configMgr) * Have a look at the log file (stanbol/log/error.log). If a provided configuration is not valid you will find errors and/or warnings in the log. * You can use the components tab of the Felix Web Console (http://localhost:8080/system/console/components) to deactivate/activate unsatisfied components. This might be necessary after fixing an invalid configuration. * if you create/change configurations via the Apache Felix Web Console you will also find the serialized files in the "stanbol/fileinstall" folder. They will use "{component}.{component}-{uuid}.config" as file name. You can take those files rename them to "{component}-{name}.config". If can provide such files to a Sling OSGI installer [2] [3] of an other Apache Stanbol instance. In production you should work with such config files instead of using the Felix Web Console. hope this helps best Rupert [1] http://sling.apache.org/documentation/configuration.html [2] http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/osgi-installer.html [3] http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/jcr-installer-provider.html [4] http://stanbol.apache.org/docs/trunk/production-mode/ [5] http://stanbol.staging.apache.org/docs/trunk/customvocabulary [6] http://stanbol.apache.org/presentations/stanbol_custom-vocabularies_ApacheCon_Europe-2012-11_rw.pdf [7] http://stanbol.apache.org/docs/trunk/components/enhancer/engines/list.html [8] http://stanbol.apache.org/presentations/Topic-Classification.pdf > > Any suggestions on blogs, papers with detailed technical documentation. > > Regards, Duane -- | Rupert Westenthaler rupert.westentha...@gmail.com | Bodenlehenstraße 11 ++43-699-11108907 | A-5500 Bischofshofen | REDLINK.CO .......................................................................... | http://redlink.co/
