Re: [Dbpedia-gsoc] Feedback on proposal

2016-03-23 Thread Sandro Coelho 
Hi Dimitris, Ravindra

I have just seen your proposal and it is possible to say that is useful for
DBpedia Lookup too.

DBpedia Lookup indexes surface forms, synonyms, etc. in order to perform
disambiguation, offering a collection of URLs that most closely matches the
searched term. Your proposal can help us to improve this support.

If you want to use your idea in Lookup, I can assist you. Also, it is very
useful for Spotlight, but first we have to organize the project before
offering positions in GSoC.

Best,

Hi Anna Pedchenko,

Great to read your mail. I comment out each questions inline.

It is a good idea to replace Jersey to another REST/HTTP approach and we
would prefer a functional way to deal with it.

While Akka HTTP is not ready yet, I  would recommend Spray and Spray-json
because is production ready and mature. Additionally, there are some
Spray developers
involved in Akka HTTP. They are bringing the best of  Spray to Akka HTTP
and it will leave easier a future migration.

Good point. We want to use Elastic Search or at least upgrade the Lucene
index version :)

It is really exciting how some new technologies are solving  problems
turning it simple and useful. The Swagger was born "polluting the code" (I
don't agree with this) and now offer this elegant solution.  Go ahead!

It would be better support new formats while we gradually stop supporting
"unused" formats.  This gives time to people that are using our solution to
modify and adapt their solutions to "new comings".
