From the webpage:
The Linked Media Framework is an easy-to-setup server application that bundles central Semantic Web technologies to offer advanced services. The Linked Media Framework consists of LMF Core and LMF Modules.
LMF Usage Scenarios
The LMF has been designed with a number of typical use cases in mind. We currently support the following tasks out of the box:
- Publishing Legacy Data as Linked Data: whenever you have legacy datasets in CSV, Excel, XML or similar and want to publish it as Linked Data, the LMF framework is the right tool for you. Follow this guide to see how.
- Building Semantic Search over your Data: you have data in some format and want to enrich it with content from the Linked Data Cloud to provide advanced Semantic Search? Follow this guide!
- Using a SKOS Thesaurus for Information Extraction: you have a custom thesaurus and want to analyse and automatically interlink content based on its concepts? See how to do it in this guide.
Target groups are a in particular casual users who are not experts in Semantic Web technologies but still want to publish or work with Linked Data, e.g. in the Open Government Data and Linked Enterprise Data area.
It is a bad assumption that workers in business or government have free time to add semantics to their data sets.
If adding semantics to your data, by linked data or other means is a core value, resource the task just like any other with your internal staff or hire outside help.
A Semantic Web short coming is the attitude that users are interested in or have the time to build it. Assuming the project to be worthwhile and/or doable.
Users are fully occupied with tasks of their own and don’t need a technical elite tossing more tasks onto them. You want the Semantic Web? Suggest you get on that right away.
Integrated data that meets a business need and has proven ROI isn’t the same thing as the Semantic Web. Give me a call if you are interested in the former, not the latter. (I would do the latter as well, but only on your dime.)
I first saw this at semanticweb.com, announcing version 2.2.0 of lmf – Linked Media Framework.
