Money, Percent, Date, and Time Named entity types in Frog #29

Stanford NER has a 7 class model which includes Location, Person, Organization, Money, Percent, Date, Time. I cannot find this in frog documentation. Is it easy to add this feature?

the NER module is briefly described in the frog documentation. Available from here chapter 5.2.7 It refers to this documentation: Desmet, B. and V. Hoste. 2009. Named Entity Annotatierichtlijnen voor het Nederlands. Technical Report LT3 09.01., LT3, University Ghent, Belgium.

It is in Dutch, but so is Frog :)

But to summarize: The NER tags assigned by Frog are: EVE, ORG, PER, PRO, LOC, MISC So no money is involved :0

Training a new NER is possible, but assumes a lot of tagged Dutch data and some knowledge about training our Memory Based Tagger. MBT

Closing, because we don't have resources, nor the need to improve the NER
