Architecture

• Software architecture: Components, services, modules and plugins

Search or read data for additional applications

If you use Solr as your database or index, use the Rest-API of Solr for searching or / and getting data in XML or JSON format or use Solr Client APIs to get data with your favorite programming language.

Or if you use a triple store as database use its standard SPARQL interface.

Libraries for different programming languages

• Libraries, bindings, and modules that exist for the explicit purpose of integrating Solr with other applications or programming languages

Data enrichment and data analysis plugins

• Development of own Solr plugins
• Development of own data enrichment plugins
• Development of own data enrichment plugins with Python

Plans for the future.
