Thanks, Eric! Your patch was the catalyst, without a doubt.

Grant,

Just been digging through Tika, and it looks like it’s come a long ways since I first heard about it! And the patches you’ve made to Solr to support rich documents is great!

Hi Sameer,

Tom Morton and I have a written on this in “Taming Text” (http://www.manning.com/ingersoll). The associated code has integration between Solr and OpenNLP, which can do Named Entity Recognition. That’s a starting point. You could also easily plugin other algorithms, I think, but I don’t know if anyone is currently offering that in Solr.

A natural enhancement / extension to Metadata extraction and identification toolkit would be to layer a content analysis framework on top. There is value in extracting named entities out of the content. These named entities can then be used to slice and dice information by People, Company, Places, etc.

Grant, is someone already working on it? Any plans in the pipeline?
