Eric,
Jean Godby and I have been looking into this very problem. First, I
want to draw your attention to the difference between NER and the
subsequent problem of Identity Resolution. For example, in a given
text, an NER tool would identify Kennedy as a name, but that name
could refer to several
Hi Eric,
I'm not sure that there can be answers to your question without some
more information first (and, possibly, more mining on your part).
First off, these names -- can they be fairly confidently identified
as identities? If so, VIAF (http://viaf.org/) would be your first

Hi Ken,
If Wittenberg University were a Voyager ILS library, I would point you towards

the specific use cases is collection development/weeding projects and it meets

2) Run it through NER, pull out

On a related project, I also just pushed some major code updates to the Orbeon
xforms application we use at Stanford for MODS and TEI editing.
It's at https://github.com/cfitz/orbeon-forms .
It uses the Orbeon Form Runner forms environment, which you can read about
