    Hi all,

    I am currently working on a system for toponym recognition in natural german
    (web-based) text documents, as my master thesis.
    The system uses a POS tagger for extracting good NE candidates for a
    gazetteer.

    Now, here my question arises
    1. Do you know of any good POS tagger for German language, best Java-based?
    (I need only the NE-tagged tokens.)
    2. I used tnt, but that one is based on perl/C, and it is not easy to
    integrate into my java framework.
    3. I also used qtag. But it comes only with a, for my task too small data
    base (lexicon and matrix).

    So, is there any POS tagger out there that is easy to use and up for the
    task?

    Cheers & thx for listening in, yours
    Mike Sonntag
