Full text search via a triplestore
By utilizing the built-in Lucene full-text search index in OWLIM (indexing instance string literals and labels), the Stuff API combines full text search terms with Class types on Stuff entities. We can then provide a flexible search API that provides RDF or OpenSearch Suggestions JSON responses via content-negotiation. Using the OpenSearch Suggestions format lets us quickly build out rich and extremely functional type-ahead lookups into the CMS and Semantic annotation UIs that can be filtered on any Stuff subclass - "Find me People instances containing the word 'Rooney'".
