This addon I propose would take text, and return a real java.util.Date, with a precision, likely stored in an extended Span object. Initially, I would like it to deal with year, seasonal, month, and day level references, and return a real Date and a precision. Don't care so much about days of week mentions and such, this is geared more towards supporting search and other datetime related analytics.
What do you think about using the existing name finder interface to identify spans that contain a date. A second component, maybe based on the entity linker interface, could
be used to parse the actual date for the detected spans. Jörn
