Title
Darmstadt Knowledge Processing Software Repository (DKPro Core)

Abstract
DKPro Core is a collection of Apache UIMA-Framework based software components for the processing of natural languages (NLP). Many powerful NLP-components are already freely available and new components are continues developed and published. These components cover the whole spectrum of tasks in the language technology. DKPro Core contains Wrappers for these third party tools as well as NLP-components, which are developed directly on the UKP Lab. DKPro Core offers such NLP-components for a number of different application areas like linguistic preprocessing, information retrieval or semantic text analytics for English or German. DKPro Core is built on tools like uimaFIT, which allows a fast and simple development of NLP-pipelines. DKPro Core is available in two license options: Apache Software License (ASL) Version 2 or GNU Public License Version 3, but the last one contains additional components.
