[PROPOSAL] OpenNLP Project
Hello all, we would like to propose OpenNLP as a new incubator project. OpenNLP is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text. It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution. These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing services. The proposal can be found here: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenNLPProposal We are looking forward to hear your comments. Best Regards, Jörn - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

The text is a copy of what is already there for voting in a new PPMC member updated as necessary for being a committer. The new text reads: -- Any member of the PPMC can propose a new committer. The proposal should be discussed in private on the PPMC private alias, with a subject line of [DISCUSS] Joe Bob as committer. If there is consensus that the proposed member is suitable, then there should be a formal vote in the PPMC private alias, with the subject line of [VOTE] Joe Bob as committer. The [VOTE] message should be forwarded to the IPMC ( priv...@incubator.apache.org) to notify them that the vote is underway. If the vote is successful, the proposer should send a message to the PPMC private alias, with the subject line of [VOTE][RESULT] Joe Bob as committer. Note that to be successful the vote requires at least one +1 from a poddling mentor, or, if no mentors are available from an Incubator PMC member. -- ...ant - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Re: [PROPOSAL] OpenNLP Project
Hi Jorn, I accidentally found and read this proposal on the wiki some days ago and I'm really happy to hear that OpenNLP is aiming to become an Incubator project! Thanks to you, Thilo and others for that :-) Really looking forward to it, I'll surely participate on the mailing lists! Cheers, Tommaso p.s.: I wonder if it would be good to evaluate an interest/project space where people from Mahout, Lucene/Solr, UIMA, OpenNLP and other "text-related" projects could meet to discover and develop integration scenarios 2010/11/18 Jörn Kottmann > Hello all, > > we would like to propose OpenNLP as a new incubator project. > > OpenNLP is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural > language text. > It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence > segmentation, > part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and > coreference resolution. > These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing > services. > > The proposal can be found here: > http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenNLPProposal > > We are looking forward to hear your comments. > > Best Regards, > Jörn > > > > > - > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > >

OpenNLP and Maxent started their live at sourceforge under the LGPL license, quite a while later we noticed that this makes it difficult for Apache projects to use OpenNLP. We changed the license to AL 2.0 and removed all LGPL licensed dependencies. The old versions are still licensed under LGPL and the new versions are licensed under AL 2.0.

For now, I believe we are more concentrated on trying to get OpenNLP into the incubator projects. We already know about UIMA. p.s.: No harm in reading ahead!

Re: [PROPOSAL] OpenNLP Project
Cool. As one of the creators of OpenNLP (as part of my PhD work ten years ago), I'm always happy to hear it is used in other projects! I'm very excited about the possibility of OpenNLP becoming an Apache project, and am very committed to supporting its long-term development in my work. E.g., here's a system my group is building that has OpenNLP as a major dependency: http://code.google.com/p/textgrounder/ -- Jason Baldridge Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics The University of Texas at Austin http://comp.ling.utexas.edu/people/jason_baldridge On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 6:00 PM, Olivier Grisel wrote: > +1 (non-binding) > > FYI OpenNLP is one of the main dependencies of Apache Stanbol (whose > incubation proposal was accepted last week) so we can probably expect > collaboration between the projects. > > -- > Olivier >
