Thanks for the heads up. However, I haven't found any clear summary
of what is the framework capable of right now - I think you might want
to expand the generic description a bit with some examples and
use-cases. I have been looking around a bit and seems like e.g.
https://github.com/dstl/baleen/blob/master/baleen/baleen-annotators/src/main/java/uk/gov/dstl/baleen/annotators/cleaners/MergeAdjacentQuantities.java
is something that could be pretty useful, but you might want to make it
easier to discover the capabilities to get more users / contributors.
Best,
