The IKS Project aimed to bring semantic capabilities to traditional content management systems (CMS). IKS offers various functionalities considering all CMS layers from the graphical interface to database layer. The functionalities are provided by several standalone software tools. The most important tools came out of the project are Apache Stanbol and Vienna IKS Editables (VIE).

I worked on the design and development of the semantic indexing, semantic search and content management of the project which led to the birth of Apache Stanbol. I have become an Apache committer and a PMC member of Apache Stanbol.
