Feature request: Docling integration for improved parsing accuracy and configurable OK directory path

[pi-dal]

Summary

I'd like to propose two potential improvements for OpenKL and ask about the project's roadmap:

1. Consider using Docling for improved document parsing accuracy
2. Allow users to configure custom OK directory paths

---

1. Docling Integration for Better Document Parsing

Background

Document parsing accuracy is crucial for a knowledge layer system. Docling is a powerful document parsing tool from IBM that provides excellent accuracy for various document formats including PDFs, DOCX, and more.

Question

Would the OpenKL team consider integrating Docling as an optional or default document parser to improve parsing accuracy, especially for complex documents?

---

2. Configurable OK (OpenKL) Directory Path

Background

Currently, it seems OpenKL uses a fixed directory structure. Allowing users to configure their own OpenKL directory path would provide more flexibility for different workflows and storage preferences.

Question

Are there any plans to allow users to set/customize their own OpenKL (OK) directory address/path? This would be useful for:

• Users with specific storage requirements
• Multiple OpenKL instances on the same machine
• Better integration with existing project structures

---

3. Project Roadmap & Community Contribution

I notice the repository appears to be in early development (WIP). I'm excited about the potential of OpenKL and would love to contribute.

Questions

• Is the OpenKL project still actively being maintained and developed?
• Are there plans to accept community contributions? If so, are there any specific areas where help would be most welcome?

Looking forward to the team's thoughts on these suggestions!

Dear @pi-dal

Sorry recently we were busy working on other exciting work, didnt manage to keep putting efforts on OpenKL, are you interested in contributing on it like extending the parsing layer if needed and add Docling as the extra parser?
