This paper presents NERSIL, the first Iban named entity recognition using ANNIE, an information extraction tool available within GATE. We proposed a method for building rules and gazetteers for Iban language. Rules were determined based on named entities that were not recognized by ANNIE. Then, the investigation of the contexts of these non-recognized Iban named entities allowed us to write the rules. NERSIL achieves 76.4% F-measure.
