[Discussion] Current stable server capabilities

[chseifert]

This issue is to discuss and summarise the current STABLE server capabilities.

API https://github.com/EEXCESS/eexcess/wiki/Request-and-Response-format

Summary:

• contextKeywords: keywords used, federated recommender CAN NOT know how they are converted to a query to a partner system exactly
  • ismainTopic used
  • assigned entities not used
• ageRange, used, but limited number of sources for ageRange <2
• gender, not used
• address not used
• timeRange not used
• languages used (these are the languages provided by the partner recommender, whose information might not be reliable)

Jörg, could you comment from your point of view (crowdsourcing intelligence ;-)
Herrmann, could you please confirm the view posed above.

userLocation and contextNamedEntities are not in the format anymore. The latter has been integrated into contextKeywords, while the former will not be used anyway. I share your view on the other attributes.
