Name This! Automating Metadata Extraction through a Named Entity Recognition Tool Export

@inproceedings{citeulike:5092683, abstract = {The Extracting Metadata for Preservation (EMP) Project, funded by the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation (NDIIPP) Program, addresses the ongoing challenge of identifying proper names to improve authority control in metadata creation and extraction, as well as accuracy in end-user information access via web-based search and retrieval. As a collaboration among the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, OCLC, and the University of Maryland, EMP researchers bring multidisciplinary perspectives from the library, computer science, and linguistics communities to the problem of high-quality identification and disambiguation of names.
