GERBIL - General Entity Annotator Benchmark

This is GERBIL. All your peanuts belong to me!

We present GERBIL, a general entity annotation system. GERBIL offers an easy-to-use web-based platform for the agile comparison of annotators using multiple datasets and uniform measuring approaches. To add a tool to GERBIL, all the end user has to do is to provide a URL to a REST interface to its tool which abides by a given specification. The integration and benchmarking of the tool against user-specified datasets is then carried out automatically by the GERBIL platform. Currently, our platform provides results for 9 annotators and 11 datasets with more coming. Internally, GERBIL is based on the Natural Language Programming Interchange Format (NIF) and provide Java classes for implementing APIs for datasets and annotators to NIF.
