             Summary: Framework to support Gazateer search in concert with NER for location entities. So location entity spans would be returned with lat, long, wkt etc. Would include a default PostGIS implementation
                 Key: OPENNLP-579
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-579
             Project: OpenNLP
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Name Finder
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
         Environment: Any
            Reporter: Mark Giaconia
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.6.0


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.
