Features

Comprehensive Semantic Ontology

NetOwl Extractor offers a broad semantic ontology developed in partnership with subject matter experts. The built-in ontology includes not only a variety of entities but also links and events.

Smart Geocoding

NetOwl Extractor offers geotagging capabilities to intelligently exploit geo-codable entities found in text.

Entity Translation

NetOwl Extractor offers English translation of entities extracted from foreign language texts.

Customization

NetOwl Extractor’s Creator Edition (CE) lets its users perform extraction customization of entities, links, and events.

Semantic Disambiguation

NetOwl Extractor recognizes and classifies concepts using linguistic context. This sophisticated feature distinguishes semantic differences like:

  • “Bush” (person) vs. “bush” (plant)
  • “Jordan” place vs. person (e.g., “Michael Jordan)
  • “fire” a weapon vs. “fire” a person

Coreference Resolution

NetOwl Extractor resolves co-referring extracted entities, whether they are name aliases, pronouns, or definite noun phrases, identifying them as referring to the same object. For example:

  • “FAA” => “Federal Aviation Administration”
  • “The company’s Chairman of the Board” => “John Smith”
