This version of GERBIL provides a running web service enabling the evaluation, benchmarking, publishing and archiving of entity annotation experiments. GERBIL is a community effort.

Currently, we support the following annotators

• Wikipedia Miner
• Spotlight
• TagMe 2
• KEA
• WAT
• AGDISTIS
• Babelfy
• NERD-ML
• Dexter
• NIF-based Annotator (this adapter can be used for any NIF based web service)

and the following datasets

• ACE2004
• AQUAINT
• MSNBC
• IITB
• Meij
• AIDA/CoNLL
• N3 - reuters-128
• N3 - rss-500
• KORE50
• Spotlight Corpus
• Microposts.

Furthermore, GERBIL supports six experiment types, three matchings and 6 metrics. You will never again have to write your own entity annotation benchmark system. Just write a wrapper for your annotator or dataset and let it run against state-of-the-art systems and corpora.

Version 1.0.0 of the gerbil.nif.transfer library

This is the first release of the gerbil.nif.transfer library. This simple lib translates a document from java into NIF, transfers it to a webservice or client and retranslates it into a java object. It is part of the GERBIL project and can be used by others to implement a NIF based web service for their own annotators.
