FISE Getting Started

From IKS Project

FISE is a framework for semantic enhancement engines. Running FISE you can send English documents as plain text to the FISE server via a RESTful web interface and get back semantic annotations for this content. The annotations are computed using different "enhancement engines" which can be plugged into FISE. Depending on the active enhancement engines FISE will annotate e.g. people and places.

Before getting started it might be a good idea to read the following blog post by Olivier Grisel.

 Introducing fise, the Open Source RESTful Semantic Engine

To start working with FISE you have to download a release of build FISE from its sources.

Once you have FISE on your local machine run:

 $ java -jar <FISE-Release.jar> -p 8080

and then point your browser to http://localhost:8080.
