== Aperture: Semantic Data Access by Aduna & DFKI ==

Goals: 
 * To extract individual data objects (e.g. documents, emails, ...) from various data sources
 * To extract all possible information from the binary content of these data objects (e.g. full text, titles, authors, ...)
 * To deliver a storage back-end in which this information can be stored and made queryable
 * To deliver an architecture that can easily be extended by others, e.g. with new document formats, data source types, ...
