------------------------------------
Issue Type: New Feature (was: Wish)
> CLAVIN Integration
> ------------------

> Key: TIKA-1106

> Project: Tika

> Components: parser

> Environment: All
> Reporter: Adam Estrada
> Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
> Priority: Minor

> Fix For: 1.8

> I've been evaluating CLAVIN as a way to extract location information from
> unstructured text. It seems like meshing it with Tika in some way would make
> a lot of sense. From CLAVIN website...
> {quote}
> CLAVIN (*Cartographic Location And Vicinity INdexer*) is an open source
> software package for document geotagging and geoparsing that employs
> context-based geographic entity resolution. It combines a variety of open
> source tools with natural language processing techniques to extract location
> names from unstructured text documents and resolve them against gazetteer
> records. Importantly, CLAVIN does not simply "look up" location names;
> rather, it uses intelligent heuristics in an attempt to identify precisely
> which "Springfield" (for example) was intended by the author, based on the
> context of the document. CLAVIN also employs fuzzy search to handle
> incorrectly-spelled location names, and it recognizes alternative names
> (e.g., "Ivory Coast" and "Côte d'Ivoire") as referring to the same geographic
> entity. By enriching text documents with structured geo data, CLAVIN enables
> hierarchical geospatial search and advanced geospatial analytics on
> unstructured data.
> {quote}
> There was only one other instance of the word "clavin" mentioned in the ASF
> jira site so I thought it was definitely worth posting here.
