Additional Components

Developing additional components

Baleen is designed as a modular framework, making it very easy to develop and deploy additional components. For example, if you wish to develop an additional annotator, you could do so simply by including the following Maven dependency and then extending the BaleenAnnotator class or one of the helper classes (e.g. AbstractRegexAnnotator).

<dependency>
	<groupId>uk.gov.dstl.baleen</groupId>
	<artifactId>baleen-annotators</artifactId>
	<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Existing additional components

The following list may not be complete, please help by adding any additional components you find.

• https://github.com/jamesdbaker/Baleen-Components
• https://github.com/tenode/baleen-extras contains additional components (annotators, resources, common functions) which are not part of this Baleen. Some projects will rely on the tenode/baleen fork.
• https://github.com/tenode/baleen has a fork of the Baleen project with some additional minor changes (eg additional entries to the type system). Also check some of the feature branches (which will become pull requests and may merged into dstl/baleen in future) for large changes.
