[TYPO3-semantic] Cambridge Semantic Group

Hi Jochen

Good to have you directly at the source ;)

Seems a lots of IT is going on near Boston generally speaking...

Yes.

I hope the guys from AKSW felt welcome during our last meeting...

As I said, in principle it is good to have synergy btw Open Source project and I would trust Thomas 
judgement about this team. Also considering the work they have done and published this an asset for 
us to benefit from their experience. So I am fairly eager about this collaboration. :)

OTOH, I am still curious / in expectation to see how the Library will work with TYPO3. I am 
following Thomas's work closely. Recently, I notice many new Unit Test on the branch along with some 
Zend Classes (which I guess are mandatory to have Erfurt running)

@thomas: let us know if we can help.

Does it have a conflict with our approach so far? I don't have enough distance to tell but it seems 
we are in the position of using many layers. ;)
