----------------------------------
Summary: CLAVIN Integration
Key: TIKA-1106
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1106
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Wish
Components: general
Affects Versions: 1.3
Environment: All
Reporter: Adam Estrada
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.4
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...

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.

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.
