Abstract

In this chapter are presented two concrete examples of applications. The first example is a tutorial that is easy to replicate (almost) without requiring computer programming skills. This example elaborates on extracting information useful in a wide range of scenarios: detection of people, organizations, and dates. It shows how to extract information from a Wikipedia page. Most of the system is implemented using the Stanford CoreNLP suite.

The second example is more complex and instantiates the OBIE architecture presented in the previous chapter using software tools from different sources that need to be adapted to work together. The application is related to electronic government, and processes publically available documents of municipalities. This second example targets contents written in a natural language not often available out of the box: Portuguese.
