He also writes:
"One IKS annotation feature, found in some but not all competing
annotation engines,
is ability to resolve identified entities to Semantic Web uniform
resource identifiers (URIs),
IDs that uniquely designate/things/. URIs enable the DBpedia enrichment
links."
Having an entity identification system would also be awesome to have in
OpenNLP.
And I guess taking a learn able approach could work nicely with our
annotations project.
I believe that is very important, because people who do NER, often need
to identify entities.

I would highlight this paragraph on page 2:
OpenNLP has Apache incubation status, which is a sort-of provisional
acceptance by the Apache Software Foundation. It provides only basic NLP
functions. It doesn't support extraction of facts, events, or relationships,
nor sentiment or pattern-based information such as telephone numbers and
e-mail addresses. It appears, however, that FISE should be able to
accommodate other annotators, whether installed or invoked via calls to
entity-resolution Web services. There are many NLP engines that are more
advanced and capable than OpenNLP.
I guess a question is whether OpenNLP should be doing any of those things,
or just stay focussed on core NLP tasks that other software builds on.
