nifWrapper

The NLP Interchange Format (NIF) is a RDF/OWL-based format wich allows the spotting of words from text corpora and its metada such as part-of-speech tags, knowledge-base links, entity type, etc. Likewise other Python libraries (e.g., pynif), this library transform NIF data to python classes in order to better proccessing this information.

If you want to create/visualizate NIF data see NIFify in GitHub or a demo.

Example

Install first the library:

pip install nifwrapper

and then, try:

from nifwrapper import *
