Description

Nicolas Hernandez has made OpenNLP models for french available at [1]. This models seam to use a Tagset published by "Crabb ́e & Candito, 2008" and best described on page 8 of [2]. Information on the main categories can be found at [3].

To use this models with the OpenNLP Pos Tagging Engine the PosTagSetRegistty should be extended with TagSet mapping for this Tagset.

NOTE: Users that want to use those models will need to download them from [1], extract the archive. Rename the files to fr-sent.bin, fr-token.bin, fr-pos-maxent.bin, fr-chunker.bin and copy those files to the stanbol datafiles directory (by default under "stanbol/datafiles").
