[jira] [Commented] (OPENNLP-579) 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

Joern Kottmann commented on OPENNLP-579:
----------------------------------------

Thanks for sharing this!

What the code basically does is to geo locate a place name which was previously detected by the name finder.

Why do you need the GeoSpan integration for the name finder? The GeoGazateer could simply run after the standard name finder found all location mentions in a document, similar like its done in the coref component.

Can you recommend a data set I could use for a test?

> 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.
