[Corpora-List] number and dates normalization

[Shachar Mirkin]

Hi,

 

Here's a summary of the pointers we got for the number and date
normalization inquiry:

 

 

- ICU4J (http://icu-project.org/index.html) - a set of libraries for
globalization purposes, including number and date formatting.

 

-  A date normalizer by Mark Greenwood found at:
http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~mark/dev/java/index.html

 

- Unix date program, part of GNU coreutils:
http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/  

 

- hCalendar ( <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar>
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar , a microformats standard for
calendaring and events format. 

 

- TempEx: for date and time expression tagging by George Wilson:

Thanks to Trevor Jenkins, Michael Hawkes, Mark Greenwood and George Wilson
for their help.

Subject: [Corpora-List] number and dates normalization

 

Hi,

 

I'm looking for an available package (preferably Java) for numbers and dates
normalization, that given "fifteen hundred" will return "1500" and given
"January, 23 1987" will return a date in some predefined schema, e.g.
"23/1/87".

 

Anyone knows of such a tool?

 

Thanks,
