> 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.
