IsoQuest Inc.: Description of the NetOwl™ Extractor System as Used for MUC-7
George R. Krupka, Kevin Hausman · 1998
IsoQuest used its commercial software product, NetOwl Extractor, for the MUC-7 Named Entity task. The product consists of a high-speed C engine that analyzes text based on a configuration file containing a pattern rule base and lexicon. IsoQuest used the NameTag Configuration to recognize proper names and other key phrases in text, and mapped the product’s extraction tags to the MUC-7 NE tags. NetOwl Extractor provides access to the extracted information through a flexible API, and IsoQuest used a small application program to process the documents and write the SGML output.
