+### LODEX ###
+
+Lodex - Linked Open Data Extraction Tool enables to extract large ontology vocabularies out of unstructured data such as document text or social network messages.
+
+It runs as service with preconfigured freebase and DBPedia vocabularies. Nevertheless, you can create own ontologies, according to your specific project needs.
+
+Lodex is not a simple entity extractor. Special features are:
+
+* adding arbitrary metatadata to an entity, not only recognizing entity types. (e.g. an id/URI)
+* dealing with huge vocabularies with millions of entities
+* find semantic entities according to label synonym lists, specified as part of your vocabulary
+* statistic disambiguation, using text similarity against entity description texts, also specified as part of your vocabulary
+* fuzzy match techniques such as Levenshtein, stopword resistent match, filtering high frequent terms with part of speech
+* search for specific entity types. These also have to be specified as part of your entity metadata inside your vocabulary
