For the user interface, it would be interesting using create.js:
http://createjs.org/
What about the backend? I've contributed to a similar tool for my
company, I'm sorry but it can't be released, but I can say we used a
mongoDB database in which each document is a sentence.
Then I think it should be useful tag sentences with as many information
as possible, such as corpus/provenance, language, tagger (automatic or
manual), reliability...
Let's talk about it, I think it would be a very useful resource for
everyone.

Hi James, hi Jason,
thanks for clarifying the license situation!
About your plans on iterative training data generation: that sound
interesting and we probably been doing similar stuff to build corpora.
So it would really be interesting to share ideas or join forces.

Katrin,
Hmm... maybe I'll be writing a fact page to go on our web-site until we
get this straightened out.
1) The models at sourceforge are primarily used only for research. No
commercial usage.
2) Most of the corpus are heavily copyrighted and exclude all
commercial usage. Mostly because they are fully copyrighted texts and
are treated as most books are...
3) Both these out of the way, our team is also attempting to put
together a way for us to generate and get a free corpus based on other
free sources. Where the copyright is more of a free information
exchange. I think WikiNews has been looked at as well as other
sources. We have a sample server applet that will eventually run on a
server to allow us to mark/tag/take apart the information and generate
the correct format for the training data required for the namefinder,
tokenizer and POS tagger.
Help on this is extremely welcome and I think you and anyone else
interested can contact Jorn to get started or how to help.

Hi everybody,
I am wondering what licence the models provided for the apache-opennlp
tools (those that can be found at:
http://opennlp.sourceforge.net/models-1.5/) are of.
As an example: the models based on the tiger corpus -- are they also
subject to the apache licence? if not, what licence? Same question for
models based on conll data.
So, as a company, can we use these models in a commercial context or
do we have to licence the original corpus additionally ?
