European Media Monitor

The Europe Media Monitor (EMM, see http://emm.newsbrief.eu/overview.html ) family of applications has been analysing up to 220,000 news reports per day since 2004. EMM recognises names mentioned in the news in over twenty languages and decides automatically for each newly found name whether it belongs to a new entity or whether it is a spelling variant of a previously known entity. This resource allows EMM users to display news about people or organisations even if their names are spelt differently or if the news articles are written in different languages and scripts.JRC.I.3-Text and Data Minin
