Package prajna.entity Description

Provides a consistent framework for entity extractors and entity verifiers. These classes provide a common interface for any entity extractor, so that an entity extractor implementation can easily adapt various extractors. Similarly, the design of the entity verifiers allows implementers to easily add multiple verifiers to verify the result of entity extraction.
