[jira] [Commented] (OPENNLP-579) Framework to support Gazateer
search in concert with NER for location entities.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-579?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13664067#comment-13664067 ]
Mark Giaconia commented on OPENNLP-579:
---------------------------------------
The sql file in the attached Zip has sample data (about 600 cities), so if you stand up a PostGIS instance, and run the script it will create the database, the tables, and load the data. Debug the Example class and it will get a hit on New York.
As for other gazateers, USGS has a large Gazateer that could be loaded into the postgres database @ http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/download_data.htm.
Good point about the GeoSpan integration, I was just trying to go for maximum encapsulation, but I am open to any ideas you have.
Thanks!

> An interface for defining a Gazeteer and the methods to search it, an extended Span object, and a Namefinder that encapsulates a TokenNameFinder for locations. Commercial applications that do this are extremely expensive, and there are many free gazateers one could use to create a solution with OpenNLP. The capability should provide a simple default implementation using the most popular open source geospatial database, PostGIS.
