[NLP2RDF] Gate -> NIF tools?

[Sebastian Hellmann]

Hi Eric,

I think, there is no tool currently for transforming Gate XML to NIF 2.0 
at the moment.

There was a direct converter for NIF 1.0 here:
https://bitbucket.org/d_cherix/gan
which was based on http://gate.ac.uk/sale/tao/splitch7.html#x11-1530007 
and GATE ANNIE

Most of the transformation should be straigthforward. NIF is quite 
strict about how to count characters. GATE probably uses the java 
String.size() method and Unicode, so this should be fine.


Ideally, you would map GATE annotations to the ontologies used in NIF:

http://persistence.uni-leipzig.org/nlp2rdf/ontologies/nif-core
http://purl.org/olia
http://nerd.eurecom.fr/ontology
http://dbpedia.org
http://marl.gi2mo.org/
http://lemon-model.net/

We are working on copying all ontologies here:
https://github.com/NLP2RDF/ontologies/tree/master/vm


Could you send an example of your GATE file, so we can look at it more 
closely?
Do you have different annotation sets, or just the default one?
All the best,
Sebastian
