The github project for distributing model files sounds like a great idea. It would also be very useful to get an authoritative list (with name, description, and especially URL) of the training data files used to generate each of the trained models. Especially for models trained using OpenNLP training data, it is not clear where the training data files are available. By making the training data files available, OpenNLP can enable users to augment them by adding their own training samples and retrain on the augment data set. Retraining would help significantly either in improving accuracy in different problem domains (e.g., blog articles compared to newspaper articles, etc) or covering for corner cases missed by the original training data. Having the original training data will help immeasurably since it will be much more manageable for users to merely add their own training samples, compared to generating and annotating all the original training samples.

Therefore we will not be able to produce maven dependencies here. Most model files can currently be found at SourceForge and we are currently working on a new model distribution project over at github: https://github.com/utcompling/OpenNLP-Models Jörn
